Sustainable Mountain Agriculture: Perspectives and Issues v. 1 (Taschenbuch) von N.S. Jodha   Synopsis: This study addresses a substantial and urgent problem. Mountain areas of developing countries face rapid increases in population pressure as well as degradation of the environment and production resource base, and there are unmistakable symptoms of the emerging unsustainability of current patterns of resource use and production practices. This situation is both a cause for concern and a reason for reappraisal of conventional development approaches to mountain areas in general, and mountain agriculture in particular. "Sustainable Mountain Agriculture" draws on the material presented at the International Symposium on Strategies for Sustainable Mountain Agriculture in September 1990. Contributions to this symposium came from other agencies and other mountain systems, such as the Andes; most of the papers presented at the symposium are included in this volume, and in addition a small selection of papers, not presented at the symposium, are also included to cover other important topics. The inferences based on the deliberations and discussions held are synthesized in the introductory chapter, which discusses the overall focus of the volume and describes thematic coverage of different papers. This is followed by a synthesis of the major findings and, finally, after a brief comment on the identification of sustainability factors, the chapter summarizes the principal issues and directives for the future based upon the work already completed.
