What is Land For?
The Food, Fuel and Climate Change Debate
«
'Sustainable land use is the first 'tipping point' to be faced over the whole globe...This volume helpfully sets the scene for a new sustainable land revolution.'
Tim O'Riordan, Emeritus Professor of Environmental Studies, University of East Anglia, UK'If you want informed reflection on today's crucial debates, policy-making and planning about land use, this book is well worth a read.'
Country Way Magazine'This is the type of book that makes you revise your lecture notes. Although I continue to rehearse arguments about post-productivism and countrysides of consumption, I am aware that I sound increasingly unconvincing. Whilst not yet able entirely to consign these concepts to history, it is instructive to read a book that says, basically, society faces a range of real and urgent problems, the answer to which lies in the soil.'
