Overview

The environmental problems, such as pollution and land degradation, of post-Soviet agriculture are serious and represent a major obstacle to the expansion of food production in the new political and economic arena. This text provides a review of these problems and also responds to several reports claiming that the situation is irremediable. That they are not necessarily the key limiting factor in agricultural production in the short-term. Drawing on a range of personal interviews and statistics and on the social, economic and political literature, as well as information on crop production, soil and water use, and the environment, it's shown how a more sustainable future might be attained. The text thus represents an addition to the literature and should be of interest to agricultural, environmental and social scientists concerned with this region.
