Rezension zu „Biodiversity, Biofuels, Agroforestry and Conservation Agriculture “
From the reviews:"This is a useful wide-ranging book covering many areas of interest to the thinking agriculturalist of the 21st century operating on a global scale. ... It includes a section on argo-ecology in the curriculum that educationalists will find of interest. The book is well referenced throughout as one has come to expect from the series and it is a useful addition to its partner volumes." (Keith Dawson, Experimental Agriculture, Vol. 47 (4), 2011)
