Intercropping and the Scientific Basis of Traditional Agriculture

A study of the practice of intercropping, Innis's meticulous analysis of the scientific base of different traditional forms of agriculture, is at the forefront of the search for integrated systems of indigenous and modern agriculture. He proposes the return of the small farmer to the land and suggests how this might be done.
