商品描述

This volume is an update to Weed Science- A Plea for Thought-Revisited published by Springer in 2012. More than a decade after the first edition, ethical discussion on the use of pesticides for weed management is largely absent. Startingly, weed science and agriculture have continued on the same path and are still dominated by capital chemical and energy intensive practices, including the paralysis of pesticides. This second edition expands upon the first, using recent data to confirm the dominance of herbicides. The revision includes chapters which emphasize the role of ethics in agriculture and the reasons it should, but has not yet become part of agricultural education. This includes suggestions on how education in agricultural ethics should be shifting and whose responsibility it is. The revised version also includes a discussion on the role of genetically modified crops and the consequences of using these crops-both positive and negative.

Scientists have developed a wealth of knowledge they bring to the surface of their disciplinary silos. Yet there needs to be greater discussion on the necessity and risks of agricultural science and technology. This revised version provides a rigorous examination of weed science's goals and ethics and challenges the way we manage weeds and agriculture.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書是2012年由Springer出版的《除草科學-再思之請求》的更新版。在第一版出版十多年後，關於使用農藥進行除草管理的倫理討論幾乎消失了。令人驚訝的是，除草科學和農業仍然沿著同樣的道路前進，仍然被資本化的化學和能源密集型做法所主導，包括對農藥的依賴。這第二版擴充了第一版的內容，使用最新數據證實了除草劑的主導地位。修訂版包括強調倫理在農業中的角色以及其應該成為農業教育的一部分但尚未實現的原因的章節。這包括對農業倫理教育應該如何轉變以及誰負責的建議。修訂版還討論了轉基因作物的角色以及使用這些作物的後果-包括正面和負面的影響。

科學家們在他們的學科領域中積累了豐富的知識。然而，對農業科學和技術的必要性和風險需要更多的討論。這個修訂版對除草科學的目標和倫理進行了嚴格的檢驗，並挑戰了我們管理雜草和農業的方式。
