“…Special methods will be required for the rehabilitation of`agricologenic' areas, such as (Hodges and Scofield, 1983). This might involve the planting and harvesting of halophytic plants and the inoculation of the soil with specialist decomposer microorganisms.…”

Modern agriculture is unsustainable, largely because our overemphasis on production, and on its achievement through inappropriate physical, chemical and biological manipulation, has resulted in the neglect of maintenance functions within agroecosystems. This blind spot is one of a number that are indicators of our undeveloped and distressed psychosocial state. Only by including such factors in our systems analyses will it be possible to establish a truly sustainable agriculture and food system. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

“…For example, application of crop and manure residues is an alternative as the recovery rate of N and P is relatively high from them, 55 and 65 percent respectively. Dependence on heavy chemical fertilizer application would mean that agriculture would be contributing to an eventual energy crisis (Hodges and Scofield, 1983).…”

An explanation is provided of why and how one group of researchers in a Chinese village setting came to focus on what the authors call biological recycle farming. An explanation of applied agricultural research in China is provided. One conclusion reached is that application of research at the village level was largely successful because it was founded on community development principles. Another conclusion is that food production in very marginal Chinese villages can be increased significantly. While the alternative approach discussed cannot be exported wholesale to many other countries of the world, the concepts are very useful for international economic and agricultural development.
