This document lists and provides sources for 10 case studies on various approaches to sustainable agriculture, including organic farming in the UK and Cuba, GM crops in Argentina, fair trade cocoa in Ghana, the Green Revolution, hydroponics in Spain, and a new rice variety for Africa. It also separates the case studies into three categories: technology dependent, low cost solutions, and environment focused. Additionally, it discusses four approaches to decreasing consumption through population control, gender equality, fairer trade, and appropriate aid.
