If You Are Interested in Sustainable Agriculture...
      In addition to this monthly newsletter, the Henry A. Wallace
Institute for Alternative Agriculture publishes the American
Journal of Alternative Agriculture, a quarterly, peer-reviewed
journal of research on alternative agriculture.  It is a
scientific forum for disseminating technical, economic, and
social research findings about the character and requirements of
alternative agriculture systems.  
      Articles in the last issue covered the Wisconsin integrated
cropping systems trial; farmers' markets and the local community;
the compatibility of domestic birds with a nonchemical
agroecosystem; Minnesota extension agents' knowledge and views of
alternative agriculture; Sweden's sustainable alternatives for
swine production; and transition from conventional to alternative
agriculture in Pakistan.  
      Annual subscriptions to AJAA are $44, institutions; $24,
individuals; and $12, students.  For more information or a single
