Food and Natural Resources provides an understanding of the interdependency of food and natural deposits that affect society. It is hoped that through these discussions a more total understanding of these prompt problems will emerge. This base of knowledge will help people and government leaders develop and carry out the kinds of programs that will lead to the reliable use and management of land, water, energy, and biological resources for enhanced food production and a greater requirement of living for everyone. The book starts by examining the intrinsic characteristics of natural ecosystems– especially the land, water, atmosphere, energy, and biological components. This is followed by chapters on the schedule and correlations in between population size, arable land, water, energy, and other biological resources; the loss of wild species of plants and animals; the availability of farming land for crops and animals; and the impact of land destruction on food and other resources. Subsequent chapters talk about water utilize in agriculture; the mechanization of agriculture and food production; the concepts and practices that can make agriculture environmentally and financially sound and sustainable; and the effect of population development on the environment and food supply.
