Law and Ecology of Pesticides and Pest Management

Explore the intricate relationship between law and the environment with Law and Ecology of Pesticides and Pest Management by Mary Jane Angelo. Published by Taylor & Francis Ltd in 2013, this comprehensive hardback spans 368 pages and delves into the often-overlooked legal aspects surrounding pesticide use and its ecological consequences. Despite the rise of environmental awareness in the late 1960s and 1970s, the legal framework governing pesticides has not kept pace with the growing concerns about their impact on agricultural pests and the environment. Angelo's insightful analysis sheds light on the critical need for a more robust legal approach to pest management that prioritizes ecological health. This book is essential for legal scholars, environmental advocates, and anyone interested in the intersection of law, agriculture, and ecology.
