Food sovereignty has been a fundamentally contested concept in global agrarian discourse over the last two decades, as a political project and campaign, an alternative, a social movement, and an analytical framework.
Energy in Agroecosystems: A Tool for Assessing Sustainability is the first book on energy analysis that is up-to-date and specifically dedicated to agriculture.
This book constitutes the Proceedings of the 1998 IEEE-USA Professional Activities Conference and the second annual professional activities conference.
The world of development thinkers and practitioners is abuzz with a new lexicon: the idea of "e;the nexus"e; between water, food, and energy which is intuitively compelling.
