Purchase options and add-ons

Contrasting the prevailing theories of the evolution of agriculture, the author argues that the practice of smallholding is more efficient and less environmentally degrading than that of industrial agriculture which depends heavily on fossil fuel, chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides.

He presents a convincing case for his argument with examples taken from Africa, Asia, Europe and the Americas, and demonstrates that there are fundamental commonalities among smallholder cultures.

"Smallholders, Householders" is a detailed and innovative analysis of the agricultural efficiency and conservation of resources practiced around the world by smallholders.

    5.0 out of 5 stars An interesting read
    Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2009
    Format: 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.
