Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book from the 1970s, by a British expert in agriculture, argues that modern agriculture is not a declining industry, simply because an advance in farming methods allows fewer workers to feed the growing population, and to free more workers for other industries. Instead, he argues, agriculture has historically developed at different rates, and in certain parts of the developing world is still a major part of human communities.

Book Synopsis The Cambridge Economic History of Modern Britain by : Roderick Floud
Download or read book The Cambridge Economic History of Modern Britain written by Roderick Floud and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2014-10-09 with total page 607 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new edition of the leading textbook on the economic history of Britain since industrialization. Combining the expertise of more than thirty leading historians and economists, Volume 2 tracks the development of the British economy from late nineteenth-century global dominance to its early twenty-first century position as a mid-sized player in an integrated European economy. Each chapter provides a clear guide to the major controversies in the field and students are shown how to connect historical evidence with economic theory and how to apply quantitative methods. The chapters re-examine issues of Britain's relative economic growth and decline over the 'long' twentieth century, setting the British experience within an international context, and benchmark its performance against that of its European and global competitors. Suggestions for further reading are also provided in each chapter, to help students engage thoroughly with the topics being discussed.

Book Synopsis Our Food, Our Land by : Richard Body
Download or read book Our Food, Our Land written by Richard Body and published by Vintage. This book was released on 1991 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Our Food, Our Land, Richard Body analyses the changes in our farming and food industries over the last 50 years, demonstrating that intensive farming has poisoned our soil, which can only lead to crop failure unless we switch to more organic techniques. Through detailed financial analysis he shows that government subsidies and guaranteed prices, far from helping farmers, have driven many off the land or forced them to adopt factory farming methods which are both abhorrent and result in food of dubious quality. Finally, it offers a prescription for land management which is economically sound and guaranteed to improve the quality of the countryside and our diet. The overriding message of this book is that if we don't restore the condition of our land we cannot expect to survive.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has never been a time of such widespread interest in the countryside - this book analyzes the pressures on the land, the requirements for the achievement of an efficient farming industry, the need to preserve the natural resources and scenic beauty of the countryside and the necessity of, at the same time, providing recreation for the 57 million people that live in Britain.

The material is enhanced by accounts of farms which have successfully pioneered conservation schemes.

Book Synopsis Farming and Birds by : Raymond J. O'Connor
Download or read book Farming and Birds written by Raymond J. O'Connor and published by CUP Archive. This book was released on 1990-03-22 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This attractively illustrated book reviews the effects of agricultural development on bird populations in Britain. Examining modern farmland as a bird habitat, it explains the changes, both in habitat structure and in available resources, that have occurred as a result of mechanisation and use of agrochemicals. Farmland bird communities are described, and their composition related to farm structure and land use. Based extensively on empirical data extracted from the British Trust for Ornithology's Common Bird Census and from nest histories recorded in the BTO'S Nest Record Scheme, the book presents an important analysis of the position of agricultural bird populations under modern farming systems. Particular examination has been made of the impact of changing methods, rotations and crops, which have been underestimated in the past. Resulting from the co-operation between a professional ornithologist and a working cereal farmer, this book provides an objective and informed view of the impact of British agriculture on bird populations.

Book Synopsis The Changing World of Farming in Brexit UK by : Matt Lobley
Download or read book The Changing World of Farming in Brexit UK written by Matt Lobley and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-11-22 with total page 246 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 2016 referendum resulted in a vote for the United Kingdom to withdraw from the European Union. This has led to frenzied political debate across the whole spectrum of policy, and agriculture is no exception. For the first time in a generation, the future of agriculture is unclear and unfettered by the constraints and incrementalism of the Common Agricultural Policy. This book makes an empirical contribution to the Brexit debate, bringing a social dimension to agri-Brexit and sustainable agriculture discourses. Understanding the social in the context of farmers is vital to developing a way forward on food security and agricultural sustainability. Farmers are the recipients of the market and policy signals that link to global uncertainties and challenges. This book is a commitment to understanding farmers as occupiers and managers of land. Chapters in this book explore farmers’ own aspirations and knowledge about patterns of land use and production, which underpin discussions around the environment and sustainability. There is a deficit in understanding what kind of agricultural industry we now have, following years of restructuring and repositioning. This book is an attempt to address that deficit and will appeal to students and researchers exploring agriculture, food politics and rural sociology.
Book Synopsis Agricultural Revolution in England by : Mark Overton
Download or read book Agricultural Revolution in England written by Mark Overton and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1996-04-18 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the first available survey of English agriculture between 1500 and 1850. It combines new evidence with recent findings from the specialist literature, to argue that the agricultural revolution took place in the century after 1750. Taking a broad view of agrarian change, the author begins with a description of sixteenth-century farming and an analysis of its regional structure. He then argues that the agricultural revolution consisted of two related transformations. The first was a transformation in output and productivity brought about by a complex set of changes in farming practice. The second was a transformation of the agrarian economy and society, including a series of related developments in marketing, landholding, field systems, property rights, enclosure and social relations. Written specifically for students, this book will be invaluable to anyone studying English economic and social history, or the history of agriculture.
