Against the Grain : Agri-Environmental Reform in the United States and the European Union (CABI Publishing)

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
By the mid-1980s, environmentalists had come to the conclusion that the environmental problems in modern agriculture could not be solved without important changes in farm policies. Against the Grain tells the story of the long campaign for agri-environmental reform which followed. The central
argument of this timely book is that in order to appreciate the significance of the reforms themselves, and to predict where they are going, it is necessary to understand both how and why they occurred. The book offers a unique comparative analysis of the greening process in the US and Europe,
connecting policy outcomes to the political battles which produced them. It reflects on what has been achieved in each case and seeks to identify what countries can learn from each other.
