While there is undoubtedly valuable research available, I have found a
surprisingly thin coverage of both questionable practices that have
become standard procedure and the less easily "economically

ecologically and evolutionarily compatible) alternative farm
production systems. There is clearly a need for further action to
support additional research in the public interest.
