The public is more interested in agricultural & food issues than ever before as is evident in the many agricultural controversies debated in the media Why is it that some people embrace new agricultural technologies while others steadfastly defend traditional farming methods?

Are chemical fertilizers sustainable or are we producing cheap food today at the expense of future generations? What foods should we eat to have a smaller carbon footprint?

These are the issues addressed in Agricultural & Food Controversies What Everyone Needs to Know While it doesn't claim to have all the answers it provides a synthesis of research & popular opinions on both sides of these important issues allowing readers to decide what they value & believe for themselves ...
