Ethics in Agriculture - An African Perspective
ISBN: 9781402029882 / Angielski / Twarda / 167 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Agriculture is the lifeblood of the majority of people in Africa. It is not just a provider of food, it is a way of life for rural people. Whilst subsistence farming is the most practiced form of agriculture, there are many parts of Africa where agriculture is highly developed and progressive. In many instances it is the very diversity of agricultural practices that raises complex problems and issues. These issues often manifest themselves in ways that create ethical dilemmas for farmers, policy-makers, academics, politicians and the general lay-person. In particular, the role of...
