Sustainable Agriculture and Environment: Globalisation and the Impact of Trade L

Description: Sustainable Agriculture and Environment by Andrew K. Dragun, Clem Tisdell This is an exploration of the proposition that globalisation and trade liberalisation is an international "win-win" game. However, it finds evidence to suggest that there could be agricultural problems and negative impacts on rural communities and the environment in poorer countries. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Globalisation of the world economy portends a wide range of benefits to citizens of all countries. However, this ground-breaking book finds that the impacts of trade liberalisation and globalisation appear to have a negative impact on agricultural sustainability in developing countries.This book explores the proposition that globalisation and trade liberalisation is an international win-win game and finds that there is substantial evidence to suggest that there could be a range of agricultural problems and negative impacts on rural communities and the environment in poorer countries. The authors use cutting-edge research from Brazil, Bolivia, Burkino Faso, Indonesia, The Philippines and Thailand to suggest that special attention needs to be paid to local issues in poor countries in the face of globalisation.Sustainable Agriculture and Environment will prove invaluable to scholars and policymakers in the areas of environmental and ecological economics.
