From the Back Cover
Few Americans give a second thought to the source of their food and fiber. Fewer still pause to consider how agricultural practices affect the natural environment, farm families, and rural communities. Yet, as a nation, we face critical choices today that will determine the future character of our rural landscape.
- Which approaches to farming hold the most promise of protecting the natural environment while maintaining opportunities for beginning farmers and revitalizing rural communities?
- What public action is needed to enable and encourage farmers to use more sustainable farming practices?
Written for a wide audience, and especially for those involved in policy-making, Planting the Future addresses these questions by
describing the character of "sustainable" and "conventional" farms in the Upper Midwest and Northern Plains;
Assessing the socioeconomic impacts of these different approaches to farming;
Highlighting the agricultural research alternatives needed to advance sustainable agriculture; and
Providing policy options.
Planting the Future offers a rare blend of scientific findings, reflection on the research experience, and analysis of policy implications. This mixture has grown from a diversity of cooperating investigators and authors: Social and agricultural scientists, farmers, and advocates.
Planting the Future is the final report of a multi-state cooperative research effort sponsored by the Northwest Area Foundation of St. Paul, Minnesota.
