348 pages, illus.Columbia University Press
Provides in-depth analysis of agricultural diversity and explores its history, using case studies from Africa, Asia, Latin America, and the Pacific. Also considers the effect of the "gene revolution" on small farmers and reviews the effects of the "green revolution" in Asian countries. In conclusion, it questions whether the diverse agricultural practices employed by small farmers can survive modern pressures and the global ambitions of the biotechnology industry.
