British Farming: Changing Policies and Production Systems

by Eric Carter

This work describes the role and main production activities of current British agriculture. The book starts with a summary of recent policy and structural changes, then deals in turn with the main enterprise arable, dairy, beef and sheep, pigs and poultry. A case study looks at the impact of agricultural change on one location, and then general conclusions about the social - and particularly the environmental - aspects of agriculture are drawn.
