https://doi.org/10.29173/istl1984Abstract
Sustainable agriculture and sustainable forestry are important environmental issues and as such are areas in which academic and research libraries should be building their collections. The author evaluated over 250 books on these topics in order to determine the 100 most relevant books on these topics. The books are divided into general works and geographic categories and are briefly discussed. Relevant reference books, journals, electronic databases, research institutes, non-governmental organizations, and U.S. Department of Agriculture and U.S. National Agricultural Library programs are also noted.
