520    Agriculture dominates the rural economy of Papua New 
       Guinea (PNG). More than five million rural dwellers (80% 
       of the population) earn a living from subsistence 
       agriculture and selling crops in domestic and 
       international markets. Many aspects of agriculture in PNG 
       are described in this data-rich book. Topics include 
       agricultural environments in which crops are grown; 
       production of food crops, cash crops and animals; land 
       use; soils; demography; migration; the macro-economic 
       environment; gender issues; governance of agricultural 
       institutions; and transport. The history of agriculture 
       over the 50 000 years that PNG has been occupied by humans
       is summarised. Much of the information presented is not 
       readily available within PNG. The book contains results of
       many new analyses, including a food budget for the entire 
       nation. The text is supported by 165 tables and 215 maps 
       and figures.--Publisher description.
