Abstract: | |||||||
This study investigates the possibilities for totally
plant-based agriculture in England and Wales and assesses the
impacts of this shift in food production. The world food
situation, increasing pressure on resources for food production,
and health problems apparently related to western-style diets all
suggest change is necessary. Plant-based agriculture is a
possible alternative worthy of investigation.
The general research approach was a technology assessment
incorporating a literature review on agricultural and dietary
issues; the construction of a novel cropping scheme for
England and Wales; a Delphi study on developments in dairy
farming; a relevance tree to establish the areas of impact of
the shift; and a single farm case study to establish its potential for changing to crop production.
