| Summary: | Is traditional farming a thing of the past? Have we fallen into a technological trap where the modernization of agriculture is the only solution to world food production? Focusing on the farming practices of Mexico and Central America, Good Farmers examines in detail the effectiveness of sophisticated traditional methods of soil, water, climate, slope, and space management that rely primarily on human and animal power. |
