Agriculture produces methane and the products of burning off, which add to the world's problems of acid rain, depletion of the ozone layer and global warming. Focusing on the UK, the USA and Third World countries, this book reviews the agriculture and pollution. It examines the facts and assesses the relative dangers of the pollution problems.

'The Green Revolution' of the 60s and 70s produced immense gains in food cereal production in the Third World. But there are huge problems in the 'post-revolutionary' era. This book looks at the effects of international economic restraints and of national policies on the required development.
