Growing concerns
The
World Agricultural Information Centre Portal (
http://www.fao.org/waicent/) is a gateway to sites, documentation and facts and background about agriculture around the world. If you just want
Australia, go via
Oceania in the
Geographical & Regional Information bit. Headings for Australia include General Information, Sustainable Development, Economic situation, the Agriculture, Forestry and Fishery sectors, and Technical Cooperation. Information in these sections includes reports, statistical data and noteworthy web sites. Maps, such as the
Soil Degradation Map under Sustainable Development, may also feature. This is a hugely comprehensive and detailed background site for any journo on the agricultural beat.
