Farmland conservation?

Question

Could anyone recommend a book concerned with environmental policy and agriculture please. Am thinking of a career route in conservation within an agricultural context and could do with a bit of swotting up....I'm not sure where to look cos it covers law, economics, biology, environment... Thank you! x*x

Answer 3

Hey. I would recommend looking on Amazon as they tend to hold alot of varieties in a chosen field.

One example is "Regenerating Agriculture: Policies and Practice for Sustainability and Self-Reliance "

One you can buy second hand for as little as £2.50 is

If you search for your chosen topic a range of books from beginners guides to in depth scripts will appear for you to browse through :)

Good luck  x x

I read an article on Scientific American about no-till farming. You might want to check this term. I know nothing about various farming technology but they make a comment about soil preservation using this technique.

I know it's off topic and others already provided better reference but it may help you in the future.
