Inspiration from the Founder of the Modern Organic Movement
This book is a collection of work from the founders of the modern organic farming movement which explores the why and how of food growing. Writing during the first half of the 20th century, these forward looking individuals saw the beginnings of modern industrial farming and the harm that it could inflict on the earth and the health of its people. They warned about unsound practices and the problems they created as well as providing a wealth of information about sustainable alternatives. They had much to say about nurturing our links with the earth through understanding how our choices either destroy or conserve the natural cycles on which our life depends. Hoping to reach everyone and anyone who cared about their food and how it was produced, these extracts are as relevant and inspiring today as they were when they were written.
