Abstract Saving Farmland shows how sustainability, ecosystems and biodiversity transcend the paradox of man-made losses. Chambers details how to overcome obstacles, choose models, identify vital farmland, build community and raise funds. Stories of commonly shared land, international trusts, regained farmland and several real heroes provide inspiration that a future is possible where local farming and sustainable development will deliver good eating - forever.--COVER.
