In this award-winning film on the next critical environmental issue, we see the nature and extent of the soil erosion problem in America today. Contradictory government policies that have undermined the effectiveness of soil conservation programs during the past 50 years are also discussed. With Study Guide. This compelling overview of America's depressingly wasteful and resource consumptive agricultural system graphically illus- trates the central irony that our government policies have historically been at cross purposes with good care of the land. The organization is clear and logical and is factual in historical and statistical content.
Technical qualities are very good, both audio and visual.
Recommended for a general audience, community groups, and community college students.
