The Development of Modern Agriculture: British Farming Since 1931

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
This book evaluates the success of the modern agricultural revolution, which has transformed British farming since the abandonment of the free trade in 1931. The impetus for increased food production was provided first through British government intervention and later by European policies of the CAP. Scientific and technological innovations that made farming the economic success that it is, have also brought about the scourge of overproduction, environmental degradation and over capacity amongst the farming fraternity. John Martin provides an informative account of British Agriculture.
