This multi-author book deals with 'resource ecology', which is the ecology of trophic interactions between consumers and their resources. This makes the book ideal for teaching and course work, because it highlights the fact that ecology is a living and active research field.

Agro-food chains and networks are increasingly important to producers in developing countries, where they become integrated into geographically dispersed supply networks linking producers, traders and processors from the South with retailers and consumers in urban centres and in the North.

Contemporary research on genetic control of disease-transmitting insects knows two kinds of scientists: those that work in the laboratory and those known as 'field people'.

This book offers the contributions of active researchers and leading experts in the field of grassland management and grass utilization. Rather than focus separately on soil-plant interactions, plant production, animal nutrition, animal production or product quality issues, this book takes a more integrated approach.
