Challenging Post-conflict Environments : Sustainable Agriculture Paperback / softback
by Alpaslan (George Mason University, United Sates) Ozerdem, Rebecca Roberts
Part of the Global Security in a Changing World series
Paperback / softback
Description
Crossing disciplinary boundaries, this volume by Özerdem and Roberts conceptualizes the challenges of developing sustainable agriculture in post-conflict environments as well as identifying the policies and practical solutions to achieve sustainable agricultural production which is central to the survival of humanity.
Without sustainable agriculture, populations remain vulnerable increasing the likelihood of a return to conflict.
Therefore, sustainable agriculture is central to effective post-conflict recovery that provides human security as well as stability and rule of law.
Unique in combining a comprehensive and comparative understanding of sustainable agriculture challenges in post-conflict environments, there is originality in the interdisciplinary nature of the book.
Interdisciplinary often means bringing together a political scientist and a sociologist, but in this case it means bringing together natural and social scientists, as well as those with practical experience in development and agricultural contexts.
By adopting a holistic multi-disciplinary approach which identifies key themes and case studies, this book sets the scene for the debate surrounding sustainable agriculture in post-conflict environments.
Seeing 'fixing' agriculture as more than merely a technical matter, the volume focuses on this critical post-conflict challenge with social, political and cultural characteristics and consequences as well as the obvious economic ones.
