More DescriptionIncorporating the authors' pioneering work in the ecosystem health field, this book demonstrates the potential of the agroecosystem health paradigm as a framework in the decision-making processes of agricultural communities in a tropical highlands area. With color figures on the accompanying CD-ROM, it links human health and well-being issues with agroecosystem sustainability. The authors draw on management theory and practice, participatory action research, and ecologically based complex systems theories. They address problems that are crucial to many rapidly changing and urbanizing tropical environments.
