Food, Conservation and Environmental Change: Is Compromise Possible?
Food, Conservation and Environmental Change: Is Compromise Possible?

Dr. Walter Falcon, director of Stanford’s Institute for International Studies, develops these themes, drawing on his extensive knowledge of hunger, land use, and agriculture, and on his specific experiences in South and Southeast Asia.
