Reviews

Because this book provides such an interdisciplinary view of how a sustainable food system depends on responsible policies and management of water, energy and other inputs, it will be useful to people from many walks of life; including students, academics, policy makers, consultants, and industry. It is a book that can be read cover to cover or used as a reference for many critical food security topics related to water, energy and a host of issues that link the two. - Prof. Michael Faiver Walter, Cornell University, USA
