Conventional and Organic Farming: A Comprehensive Review through the Lens of Agricultural Science
Written by Vic Shorrocks, a specialist in the mineral nutrition of crops, this book aims to provide a straightforward appraisal of both the benefits and exaggerated claims of organic farming. Evidence is presented in the form of data, study results and presentation source material, which leaves the reader to make their own judgments on the validity of the case for organic over conventional farming.
