Tradeoffs or Synergies? : Agricultural Intensification, Economic Development and the Environment (CABI Publishing)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The need for increased food production, enhanced economic growth and poverty reduction , while at the same time achieving environmental sustainability, is an issue of growing importance. This book addresses the linkages and tradeoffs involved in solving such key challenges. Some of the
approaches taken are conceptual and theoretical, while others report on specific empirical cases in which linked economic, biophysical and policy models have been used to generate analytical (often quantitative) estimates of tradeoffs. Other approaches highlight institutional and policy issues
involved in trying to achieve multiple social goals simultaneously. Empirical applications to areas throughout the developing world are included.
