The Soil And Health: A Study of Organic Agriculture (Culture of the Land: A Series in the New Agrarianism)

Soil and Health argues that industrial agriculture, emergent in Howard's era and dominant today, disrupts the delicate balance of nature and irrevocably robs the soils of its fertility. Howard's classic treatise links the burgeoning health crisis facing crops, livestock, and humanity to this radical degradation of the earth's soil. His message - that we must respect and restore the health of the soil for the benefit of future generations - still resonates among those who are concerned about the effects of chemically enhanced agriculture.--COVER.
