Th Soil And Health.
With A New Introduction By Wendell Berry The Soil And Health Was Published In 1945,, Just Before Agricultural Corporations Surged To Global Proportions.
Sir Alberr Howard's Work Is A Major Inspiration To The Growing Organic And Sustainable Farming Movement And A Thought-provoking Reminder Of A Road Not Takwn In Developing Mainstream Agriculture During The Past Half-century.
The Central Tenet Of Howard's Pilosophy Is That Healthy Soil, Plants, Animals, And Humans Are Connected And That Undernourishment Of Soil Is The Source Of Modern Agricultural And Health Problems.
In Howard's Estimation, Heavy Reliance On Chemical Fertilizers Will Ultimately Lead To Widespread Disease And Destruction Of Vibrating Communities.
As The Environmental And Social Consequences Of IndustrialF arming Are Being Hotly Debated, The Soil And Health Productions Vital To Understanding What Is At Stake In The Battle Between Chemical And Organic Farming.
Sir Albert Howard (1873-1947), Founder Of The Organic Farming Movement, Is The Author Of Several Books, Including An Agricultural Testament.
