After the Green Revolution: Sustainable Agriculture for Development

by Edward B. Barbier and Gordon R. Conway

Book Overview

The Green Revolution of the 60s and 70s produced immense gains in food cereal production in the Third World. But there are huge problems in the post revolutionary era - farmers with small or marginal holdings have benefited less than wealthier farmers, intensive mono-cropping has made production more susceptible to environmental stresses and shocks.
