Linking Agriculture, Biodiversity Conservation and Food Sovereignty

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

When first published in 2009, Natureâ s Matrix set out a radical new approach to the conservation of biodiversity. This new edition pushes the frontier of the biodiversity/agriculture debate further, making an even stronger case for the need to transform agriculture and support small and medium-scale agroecology and food sovereignty.
