This World Wildlife Fund handbook identifies the major environmental threats of key agricultural commodities and the global trends that exacerbate these threats. It suggests crop-specific guidance for environmentally sound agricultural practices and provides comparable information about each crop. Activities are identified that producers, policy makers, researchers, market-chain players and environmentalists can do to increase sustainability.
