Environmental and social implications of waste in U.s. Agriculture and food sectors
Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics 3 (1):5-20 (1990)
Abstract
Because the agriculture/food sectors appear to be driven by short-term economic and political forces, cheap energy, and agricultural-chemical technologies, waste and environmental/social problems in the agricultural/food sectors are estimated to cost the nation at least $150 billion per year. Most of the waste and environmental/social problems can be eliminated through better resource management policies and the adoption of sustainable agricultural practices.My notes
