Agricultural Pollution: Environmental Problems and Practical Solutions


Overview

The pace of agricultural change over the last 50 years has led to a number of problems, including significant environmental pollution. This exciting new illustrated and fully referenced textbook is written for all students and professionals seeking a contemporary introduction to agricultural pollution. It provides a clear, scientific and technical understanding of the major pollution issues associated with modern European agriculture. It develops this understanding to explain the causes of agricultural pollution and to explore the principles and practice of pollution control on the farm. Case studies illustrate the range of approaches to agricultural pollution control and the mechanisms available for encouraging their implementation (e.g. agricultural policy).
