In this new book, Clem Tisdell considers combined economic
and ecological influences on levels of agricultural and marine production,
their variations and sustainability. The book consists mainly of previously
published articles gathered together for the first time, while also including
new chapters written especially for this collection.
The book begins with an overview of the field,
followed by an examination of the choice of variety of species for variable
environments, new crops and diversification, production and impacts of economic
and ecological factors on agricultural production generally. It goes on to
consider specific aspects of pest and disease control in agriculture. The final
part is devoted to bio-economic aspects of marine production. Interesting and
often controversial topics include consequences and economic causes of genetic
selection in agriculture, transgenic crops (GMOs), and effects of aquaculture
on levels of wild fish stocks.
