Nutrients from farms in the Mississippi River Basin are the leading cause of the Gulf of Mexicos 'Dead Zone,' a 5,000 to 7,000 square mile region where declining oxygen levels are threatening the survival of marine life. The themes of the book are the far-reaching environmental impacts of Corn Belt agriculture, including associated economic and social effects at multiple spatial scales - and the potential for future agricultural policy to address those impacts through changes in agricultural landscapes and practices. Pressing negotiations with Americas trade partners, along with increasing societal attention to both the costs and environmental effects of current agricultural policy, are creating momentum for policy change. We know that the environmental 'footprint' of Corn Belt agriculture extends beyond farmland and adjacent lakes and streams to groundwater, rivers, cities downstream, into the Gulf of Mexico, and, ultimately, to global oceanic and atmospheric systems. Contributors from multiple academic and professional disciplines discuss how agricultural policies have contributed to current environmental conditions, and, in what the authors term 'alternative futures' for agricultural landscapes, envision how new policy can help achieve more beneficial patterns.. And we acknowledge that agricultural polCox, Soil and Water Conservation Society 'Shows how land-use practices in the Midwest can have profound effects on the environment hundreds of miles away, and how confronting these problems requires insights from ecology, economics, and sociology The book gives new meaning to broad-scale and broad-based approaches to current environmental issues.'
