The pace of agricultural change since 1950 has led to a number of problems, including significant environmental pollution. This fully referenced textbook is written for students and professionals seeking a contemporary introduction to agricultural pollution. It provides a clear, scientific and technical understanding of the major pollution issues associated with modern European agriculture. It develops this understanding to explain the causes of agricultural pollution and to explore the principles and practice of pollution control on the farm. Case studies illustrate the range of approaches to agricultural pollution control and the mechanisms available for encouraging their implementation (e.g. agricultural policy).
