Agriculture is now under greater scrutiny than at any time in the last 50 years. The European Community, individual governments and the industry itself have precipitated this crisis. Controversy follows controversy - pollution, use of chemicals, land degradation and over-production. The Diversion of Land assesses the conservation challenge at the close of a long period of agricultural expansion. The authors draw on the experience of continental Europe and North America to contextualise a case study analysis of the UK. Incorporationg new research and a new methodology for the targeting of land-diversion, the concern throughout is for a fresh environmental perspective on the agricultural adjustment process. This process, the authors argue, must be informed not only by an ecological awareness but by the anticipation of economic and social change.
