Sacred Cows And Hot Potatoes: Agrarian Myths And Agricultural Policy - Softcover

This book challenges many of the assumptions of current agricultural policies - such as equating "farm" with "rural", high farm prices with high farm incomes, or farm programmes with food programmes - and examines the agrarian roots of these policies. From the origins of agrarian myths to controversies over farming and the environment, this book provides an overview of the use and abuse of agrarian values in policy making.
