DESCRIPTION
Agriculture has changed dramatically, especially since the end of World War II, Food and fibre productivity soared due to new technologies, mechanisation, increased chemical use, specialisation and government policies that favoured maximising production. A growing movement has emerged during the past two decades to question the role of the agricultural establishment in promoting practices that contribute to these social problems.
