520 $a"Agriculture is a problem--for all of us. The problem is not just agribusiness. It's not just agricultural chemicals. It's not just cities and highways ruining prime farm land. The way we farm now cannot keep feeding the world forever. That's the problem of agriculture. New Roots for Agriculture calls all agriculture into question, because the way we do it is not sustainable . Tilling the soil the way we do destroys its fertility too quickly. Agriculture needs a technical fix--a biotechnical fix. We can develop a sustainable agriculture based on crops that act like a natural ecosystem. And this could make it easy to solve many problems in agriculture at once. We could be on the threshold of a New Agricultural Revolution. That is what New Roots for Agriculture is all about."--Book cover.
