Site Assessment and Management Planning
An Open University coursebook, this covers the assessment of the value of a piece of land and planning its long-term management. Emphasis is placed on maintaining areas of high value, enhancing others, creating new conservation areas where possible, and integrating all with land use policies.
The book explores the scrutiny faced by European institutions regarding their regulatory processes for genetically-modified products. It delves into the legitimacy crisis prompted by public controversy, which resulted in shifts in national policies and calls for reform. Levidow argues that these developments have influenced EU agbiotech regulations as a means to restore public trust and legitimacy in the regulatory framework.
Les Levidow argues that the current strategies for climate change mitigation perpetuate environmental harm, and offers alternative policies for real system change.
