The book takes a contrarian view to industrial agriculture as an inimical foe to biodiversity and cogently argues that industrial agriculture is neither as rare nor as damaging to nature as environmentalists suggest… (the) chapter on below-ground biodiversity is excellent… Recommended. Choice, Vol. 49 (5), 2012. "Overall, it suggests a variety of ways to manage agricultural biodiversity for sustainable, productive and profitable agriculture. The in-depth research and analyses, and the data and case studies provided in this book are impressive contributions to managing agrobiodiversity for food security. Both content and style of presentation are lucid, highly relevant and accessible to crop breeders, ecologists, conservation biologists, economists and policy makers, as well as to undergraduate and graduate students of agriculture, conservation and ecology." – Food Security
