An Ecological History of Agriculture, 10,000 B.C. - A.D. 10,000 opens with the first known agriculture and ends in a future in which we might have to use fewer resources to feed more people. The book describes past and present agriculture and looks at future possibilities.

The pieces in this anthology dive into many aspects of the world as we know it, what it once was, and what it could be. Each one was selected based on merit, but once combined, they create an anthology that keeps you asking, "where are we now?" In this book, you will journey to far corners of Australia, take a trip to Kyrgyzstan and Argentina, and jump out into space and alternate realities.

Uses information on environment, population, and available energy sources to survey preindustrial and early industrial agriculture and pastoralism on all inhabited continents and to project future agricultural evolution.
