This book, which is the result of an intellectual odyssey, began as an attempt to explore and map the environmental and cross-cultural dimensions of the continuing spread of the green revolution-that package of high-yielding varieties of grain, fertilizers, irrigation, and pesticides that constitutes the core of modern industrial agriculture. In the process of traversing the terrain of several intellectual traditions and cutting through various disciplinary forests and thickets, a number of striking observations were made-all leading to two sober ing conclusions. First, most intellectual maps dealing with agriculture fail to recognize it as the basic interface between human societies and their environment. Because of this, they are little better than the "flat earth" maps of earlier centuries in helping to understand global realities. Second, when agriculture is analyzed from a global perspec tive that takes evolution seriously, one sees that the ecological risks as well as the energy and social costs of modern industrial agriculture make it largely inappropriate for developing countries. Beyond that, one can see a great need within industrialized countries to develop less costly, less risky, and more sustainable agricultural alternatives. Early in the journey it became clear that conventional disciplinary approaches were inadequate to comprehend the scope and diversity of global agriculture and that a new multilevel approach was needed. It also became clear that any new approach would have to try to correct certain Western biases and blind spots.

Ever Wonder What A Green Renewable Sustainable World Would Look Like? With the state of our world and its limited resources, more and more people are trying to lead a greener lifestyle in order to do their part. The Green Revolution provides comprehensive information associated with adopting daily practices that will ultimately sustain, not deplete, precious natural materials in an ever-growing population. Renewable energy expert Norman Nadeau leads by example as he details how he has committed his life to living green. From the application of solar and wind turbine technology, to recovering energy embedded in places one may not expect (such as animals’ manure), The Green Revolution highlights the highly sustainable system Norman Nadeau developed for his family farm. The Green Revolution serves as a broad introduction for those who want to conserve rather than squander. At this very important turning point in our planet’s history, this book offers the principles by which anyone can live in the most sustainable way possible.

"The Green Evolution, or: How we can survive the global ecological collapse and continue as a technological civilization, " is a work inspired by a love of nature and humanity as well. For human nature evolved from nature. It is designed to inform the reader about how life works, not what we have been told about how it works or how we wish it would. Life has existed on this planet for over 4 billion years. It has survived six mass extinction events. It has shown resilience and innovation over this span and has much to tell us about how we might survive this seventh mass extinction event-the one of our own making. The Green Evolution illuminates the path to survival by using our technology and power to restore the ecosystem.The main principle of ecological restoration is to rely on the resilience of the ecosystem to restore itself. However, to do that successfully, we must understand how ecosystems function. And unfortunately, we have lost that understanding at nearly every level of our societies. Science is beginning to regain these insights with advances in ecology and other life sciences, but it may not happen fast enough to save humanity. Simply understanding that we are dealing with systems and not static singularities can make the difference between a speedy recovery or the redirection of the landscape into a desert. The human race excels at creating deserts from lush environments. We've done it for tens of thousands of years; often, without understanding, we were causing it. Presently, we are so far out of touch with the rhythms and needs of survival that we all need a refresher on what reality is (and is not). I've collected the research to answer these pressing questions with over 150 cited studies. Many of those who understand the dire predicament we face have already judged our fate as sealed. Those who continue to deny that anything untoward is happening reinforce this perception of hopelessness. But we can survive this trial we have set against ourselves. We are at childhood's end, and a new chapter awaits us no matter what we do. If we want to choose the outcome that leads to survival, this book is our primer on how that might be possible. To that end, we dissect the vital characteristics of healthy living systems so that we might emulate them. And finding a simple framework we illuminate it. This new awareness is the Green Evolution. A sentient race's ability to choose to change its behaviors and evolve is the step that will lead us to our next great adventure. But only if we take that step. Together.

China’s dismantling of the Mao-era rural commune system and return to individual household farming under Deng Xiaoping has been seen as a successful turn away from a misguided social experiment and a rejection of the disastrous policies that produced widespread famine. In this revisionist study, Joshua Eisenman marshals previously inaccessible data to overturn this narrative, showing that the commune modernized agriculture, increased productivity, and spurred an agricultural green revolution that laid the foundation for China’s future rapid growth. Red China’s Green Revolution tells the story of the commune’s origins, evolution, and downfall, demonstrating its role in China’s economic ascendance. After 1970, the commune emerged as a hybrid institution, including both collective and private elements, with a high degree of local control over economic decision but almost no say over political ones. It had an integrated agricultural research and extension system that promoted agricultural modernization and collectively owned local enterprises and small factories that spread rural industrialization. The commune transmitted Mao’s collectivist ideology and enforced collective isolation so it could overwork and underpay its households. Eisenman argues that the commune was eliminated not because it was unproductive, but because it was politically undesirable: it was the post-Mao leadership led by Deng Xiaoping—not rural residents—who chose to abandon the commune in order to consolidate their control over China. Based on detailed and systematic national, provincial, and county-level data, as well as interviews with agricultural experts and former commune members, Red China’s Green Revolution is a comprehensive historical and social scientific analysis that fundamentally challenges our understanding of recent Chinese economic history.
