5.0 out of 5 stars
An interesting read,
This review is from: Smallholders, Householders: Farm Families and the Ecology of Intensive, Sustainable Agriculture (Paperback)
This book is very interesting and well written. I ordered it for a class and have been required to read a couple chapters already. The book goes through Netting's experience with smallholders around the world.
