Soil Quality, Sustainable Agriculture and Environmental Security in Central and Eastern Europe, Paperback / softback Book

Soil Quality, Sustainable Agriculture and Environmental Security in Central and Eastern Europe Paperback / softback

Edited by M.J. Wilson, B. Maliszewska-Kordybach

Part of the Nato Science Partnership Subseries: 2 series

Paperback / softback

Description

Agriculture is a crucial component of the economies of many of the countries in transition from a centrally-planned to a market economy and the sector is by no means immune to the environmental and socioeconomic problems confronting the countries as a whole.

The concept of sustainable development provides a convenient framework for the formulation of government environmental policy for such countries, especially those of them that aspire to join the EU and would thus be expected to meet EU environmental standards.

For agriculture, this inevitably involves appropriate strategies for balancing crop and animal production while protecting the quality of the national soil and water resources.

There is thus an urgent need to compile, exchange and evaluate current information on the quality of soils in these countries, and to assess the potential impact of new management practices on the soil and on the wider environment.
