Excerpt from Monoculture in Agriculture, Extent, Causes, and Problems: Report of the Task Force on Spatial Heterogeneity in Agricultural Landscapes and Enterprises The Task Force on Spatial Heterogeneity in Agricultural Landscapes and Enterprises was_ established at the direction of Dr. Ned Bayley, then, Director of Science and Education, United States Department of Agriculture. Its purposes were (1) to review the costs and benefits of monocultural systems, (2) to identify potential alternatives to those monocultural systems that appear to be especially susceptible to increased disease, pest, and pollution costs, and (3) to recommend research studies to evaluate the merit of the alternatives. Development of a satisfactory concept of monoculture was prerequisite to the studies made by the Task Force. There was little hard information available relating to the extent of monoculture in us. Agriculture. In this report we have assessed the extent of monoculture and the geographic location of intensive monoculture. We believe this is the first time such an assessment has been made. Forestry was not included in the scope of this study although many interrelationships exist. Present cropping patterns have resulted from a combination of forces. Most important are the independent decisions made by many individual farmers on the basis of economic return to the enterprise. These decisions have taken into account such factors as Government farm programs, compara tive biological efficiencies of various creps, and levels of technology available for production and handling of various cr0ps. Because American farmers make decisions mostly on the basis of economic return, viable alternatives or modifications to monoculture must provide equal or greater economic incentive to individual farmers either through the marketplace or through various societal programs that substitute for the marketplace. The Task Force assessed possible alternatives and modifications to monoculture within such constraints as maintenance of economically viable agriculture and adequate food and fiber supplies at reasonable costs to the public. Recommendations concerning pertinent areas of research were made. One principal objective of this report is to stimulate important research related to spatial heterogeneity in agriculture.

Organic agriculture is defined as an environmentally and socially sensitive food supply system. This publication considers the contribution of organic agriculture to ecological health, international markets and local food security. It contains a number of case studies of the practical experiences of small farmers throughout the world (including India, Iran, Thailand, Uganda and Brazil) who have adopted fully integrated food systems, and analyses the prospects for a wider adoption of organic agriculture. The book also discusses the weakness of institutional support for nurturing existing knowledge and exchange in organic agriculture.

This timely work reviews the best current thinking on practicing sustainable agriculture, with contributions from agricultural, biological, environmental and social scientists. The emphasis is on temperate zones, with many of the contributions addressing U.S. agriculture. However, the principles explored here have application in any climatic or geographical region. The book discusses stewardship, biodiversity, reliance on mixed food systems and other approaches, always with a view toward reducing environmental degradation, maintaining economic viability and stabilizing rural communities.
