An ornithologist’s personal look at farming practices that find practical solutions for sustainable food production compatible with bird and wildlife conservation.

With predictions of a human population of more than nine billion by the middle of this century, and eleven billion by 2100, we stand at a crossroads in our agricultural evolution. In this clear and engaging, yet scientifically rigorous book, wildlife biologist John M. Marzluff takes a personal approach to sustainable agriculture. He travels to farms and ranches across North and Central America, including a Nebraska corn and soybean farm, California vineyards, cattle ranches in Montana, and small sustainable farms in Costa Rica, to understand the unique challenges and solutions to sustainable food production.

John M. Marzluff is Professor of Environmental and Forest Sciences at the University of Washington, and is the author or coauthor of several books, including In the Company of Crows and Ravens; Dog Days, Raven Nights; and Welcome to Subirdia.
