Agriculture and food production have a large footprint on the landscape globally and compete for space with land for nature conservation. This book explores the competition between the food needs of a growing human population and the conservation of biodiversity as intensified by the emerging use of crops for energy production. As concern about the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on the climate grows and oil prices increase, energy production from agricultural crops has become a significant industry. At the same time, increase in food demand due to population growth has been accelerated by the rising affluence associated with economic growth in major developing countries, increasing per capita consumption.

A favorite Cornish toast at the end of the 18th century was "fish, tin and copper," and it was the first of these that brought prosperity to the Mounts Bay ports of Mousehole and Newlyn. Fish, fishing grounds, and markets change, but Newlyn survives at the center of the fishing industry and remains one of Englanda??s most important fishing ports. Fishing in Mousehole has long since ceased, but the port enjoys a thriving tourist industry. From the medieval watermills and market place of Mousehole, to the controversial slum clearance, the story of the two towns is told against a backdrop of national concerns. These include the Spanish Raid of 1595, the English Civil War, the visits of John Wesley, and the arrival of the railways. This book reminds the reader to look beyond the picture-postcard beauty of these historic Mounts Bay ports and discover the history and culture of a very distinctive locality.
