Agriculture, one of the oldest human occupations, is practised all over the world, using techniques ranging from the profoundly traditional to the most scientifically advanced. Without it we would starve. Yet how many of us understand what is happening in the fields that we see as we drive through the countryside? How often do we think about the origins of the food in our trolley? In this Very Short Introduction Paul Brassley and Richard Soffe explain what farmers do and why they do it. Beginning with the most basic resource, the soil, they show why it is important, and how farmers can increase its productivity, before turning to the plants and animals that grow on it, and tracing the connections between their biology and the various ways in which farmers work with them. The authors conclude by looking at some of the controversial issues facing contemporary agriculture: its sustainability; its impact on wildlife and landscape; issues of animal welfare; and the affect of climate change and the development of genetically modified organisms on farmers. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly readable.

We in North America are wont to think that we may instruct all the world in agriculture, because our agricultural wealth is great and our exports to less favored peoples have been heavy; but this wealth is great because our soil is fertile and new, and in large acreage for every person. We have really only begun to farm well. The first condition of farming is to maintain fertility. This condition the oriental peoples have met, and they have solved it in their way. We may never adopt particular methods, but we can profit vastly by their experience. With the increase of personal wants in recent time, the newer countries may never reach such density of population as have Japan and China; but we must nevertheless learn the first lesson in the conservation of natural resources, which are the resources of the land.

How do we achieve food security for a global population now over 7 billion people and trending towards 10 billion by 2050? This study of the global dairy industry examines how to balance our needs with those of animals and the environment. It scrutinises ruminant bovines' worrying exhaling of methane, a greenhouse gas which, fortunately, evidence shows can be reduced by adding seaweed to cattle feed. Are the multi-thousand-cow mega-dairies of the USA appropriate models for Africa and Asia's high-growth dairy regions, where so many women are smallholders? Is it ethical to keep cows in confined animal feeding operations (CAFOs), eating unnatural high-energy/low fibre diets when they prefer grazing pasture? Other issues include hormones for oestrus stimulation, and GMOs for milk yield, stressing cows' immune systems and drastically shortening longevity. This book offers multifaceted discussion of the central and ancillary issues relevant to dairying, and consumption of plant- and laboratory-based foods in the 21st century. No book to date offers such a comprehensive overview, linking ethics, environment, health and policy-making with in-depth coverage of the major dairy farming regions of the world.

Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XII AGRICULTURE OF THREE ANCIENT NATIONS THE attention and effort which have for centuries been devoted to the maintenance of soil fertility in China, Korea and Japan are probably greater than in any other part of the world, and the efficiency of these efforts is measured by the dense populations these countries have maintained and are still maintaining largely from the products of their soil. Probably nothing can give a safer measure of the maintenance capacity of the farms and farmers of a nation than the number of people they feed per unit area of cultivated field, and it is doubtful if there is a better place to study this problem than in China and Japan at the present time. We were most of all interested in methods of tillage, of fertilization, and crop rotation. We wanted to learn by seeing how it is today possible, after 20, 30 and perhaps 40 centuries, for their farmers to provide means of maintenance for such dense populations as now are living in these three countries. During the long maintenance of dense populations the people of these nations have grown into practices of economy and habits of industry the equal of which few people of western nations have attained or are likely to appreciate. While we may never adopt the details of any of the methods of these people, it is worth our while to study carefully some of those they have practiced so long and found eminently satisfactory under their conditions, because of the fundamental principles involved, and because they may suggest modifications of some of our practices or adaptations of theirs which may be helpful to us. One of the most fundamental differences between our cultural methods and practices and those of the Far East is found in the fact that there, as nearly...

This volume contains a guide to running a successful and profitable farm, focusing on account keeping. The management of money is one of the most important factors of farming, and this volume aims to walk the reader through what must be done and avoided to ensure fiscal success. “Farm Accounts and Farm Management” will be of considerable utility to prospective and existing farmers alike, and it not to be missed by collectors of vintage farming literature. Contents include: “Agriculture Follows Nature Study”, “Not Enough Bookkeeping on the Farm”, “The Inventory”, “Characteristics of a Good Set of Books”, “Teach Children to Make Inventories”, “Farm Records”, “Milk Records”, “Teach Girls Household Accounting”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. It is with this in mind that we are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with a specially-commissioned new introduction on farming.

Integrating a focus on gender with Marx’s surplus-based notion of class, this book offers a one-of-a-kind analysis of family farms in the United States. The analysis shows how gender and class struggles developed during important moments in the history of these family farms shaped the trajectory of U.S. agricultural development. It also generates surprising insights about the family farm we thought we knew, as well as the food and agricultural system today. Elizabeth A. Ramey theorizes the family farm as a complex hybrid of mostly feudal and ancient class structures. This class-based definition of the family farm yields unique insights into three broad aspects of U.S. agricultural history. First, the analysis highlights the crucial, yet under-recognized role of farm women and children’s unpaid labor in subsidizing the family farm. Second, it allows for a new, class-based perspective on the roots of the twentieth century "miracle of productivity" in U.S. agriculture, and finally, the book demonstrates how the unique set of contradictions and circumstances facing family farmers during the early twentieth century, including class exploitation, was connected to concern for their ability to serve the needs of U.S. industrial capitalist development. The argument presented here highlights the significant costs associated with the intensification of exploitation in the transition to industrial agriculture in the U.S. When viewed through the lens of class, the hallowed family farm becomes an example of one of the most exploitative institutions in the U.S. economy. This book is suitable for students who study economic history, agricultural studies, and labor economics.
