Reviews

'... the book and especially the discussion in the concluding chapter provide an excellent starting point from which a more generalised assessment can be debated. As such, this is an invaluable book for all scholars of agrifood systems analysis, with insights readily extended from pastoralism to other forms of production.' New Zealand Geographer
