Organic agriculture 60 years before people knew that it was important. Excellent reading and information by a PhD. in agriculture.

5.0 out of 5 stars Back To The Future, September 30, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
Sir Albert Howard certainly did not mince words nor did he dance around the subject of the destruction of soil fertility by modern farming techniques. The very first sentence of chapter one sets the tenor for the entire book, "The maintenance of the fertility of the soil is the first condition of any permanent system of agriculture." He accurately depicts the soil as being the Earth's `capital' and upon reflection one would come to agree that all of mankind's wealth have originated from the soil. In the same regard I will have to state the Earth's future population and prosperity (or lack thereof) will be determined by whether or not we can regain the courage to recognize and act on the eternal truth of Nature.

This review is from: Agricultural Testament (Paperback)
It is 2 bad, a shame, that his books are not more available. Give credit to Agribusiness and it's insane and inhuman mentality that nature is a machine that we can play with and exploit without tommorrow. We are letting them destroy our environment in the name of profits without conscience. Because there are profits with consciousness that are slowly surfacing to be able to feed us thinking in our overall health, as it should. Anyway, read The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan and start the journey to mental, phisical and spiritual health with what we eat.
