Oxford Symposium, Jul 1, 2018 - Social Science - 448 pages
One may expect a symposium on landscape, or terroir, to be a celebration of rolling hills, majestic mountain ranges, mighty rivers, green valleys and fields and the foods that these afford us. Some of the papers in the 2017 Proceedings certainly celebrate the fruits of the earth, but climate change and the often highly deleterious, long-term effects of industrialized agriculture demanded that many contributors turned to their attention to how humans have affected the landscape - and issued cries for action.
