Posted by on February 25, 2005
New Book Features North American, European Agrarian Landscapes
A new book looks at farm landscapes across Europe and North America emphasizing the beauty and benefits of these regions while highlighting common challenges and solutions shared by the two continents.
Values of Agrarian Landscapes: Across Europe and North America is a project of the Netherlands-based Centre for Agriculture and Environment and Minnesota-based Renewing the Countryside and the Institute for Agriculture and Trade Policy.
The 144-page book is full of great photographs and historical insight. It takes the reader from the Dutch peat lowlands to the Montana prairie, from the Iberian Peninsula to the Hawaiian Islands and includes interviews with local farmers, politicians and conservationists. Readers will also meet unique animals like the black-tailed godwit, the Iberian lynx and the blue-winged teal.
Agrarian Landscapes is published by Reed Business Publishers in Amsterdam and can be ordered online through Renewing the Countryside http://store.rtcmarket.org or by calling 1 (866) 378-0587.
