Summary:

Agriculture is moving from feeding a growing planet to feeding a planet with environmental concerns. Taking advantage of opportunities arising from these changes, ecological agrarians are developing solutions from the creative to the mundane. In the process, they are greening both their pocketbooks and the vistas around them. J. Bishop Grewell, Clay J. Landry, and Greg Conko unveil stories of these entrepreneurs at work, the challenges they face, and the benefits they hope to reap.
