The Invisible Farm

The Worldwide Decline of Farm News and Agricultural Journalism Training

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

The nature of rural life and food production is changing dramatically but remains overlooked by the major media. The Invisible Farm provides the first substantial accounting of this problem, addressing issues such as habitat destruction, loss of biodiversity, pollution, and soil degradation. Pawlick supplies readers with frightening examples of events taking place worldwide without public awareness.
