Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The authors define sustainable agriculture as "the umbrella term for approaches to agriculture that are environmentally friendly, profitable, and fair to farmers and ranchers." One of Horne's positive solutions to agribusiness-as-usual is to pay farmers to implement sustainable practice, rather than pay them later to clean up pollution or compensate for overproduction. Horne's eight goals of sustainability are healthy soil, increasing water conservation and quality, managing organic waste without pollution, safer pest management, adopting livestock and crops more adapted to nature, increased biodiversity, energy conservation, increased profitability, and reduced risk. Horne hopes to convert farmers to sustainable agriculture with folksy lines like: "I feel like I'm carrying on in the pioneer spirit of Oklahoma-- breaking new ground, looking for a better life. What keeps me going is the knowledge that the good earth will sustain us if we treat her right." Horne is president of the Kerr Center for Sustainable Agriculture in Oklahoma.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Essentials of Agriculture The American people have definitely decided that the public schools shall teach pupils to think and to do; that, so far as is consistent with a reasonably liberal culture, the training of the student shall relate intimately to the life he expects to lead. For a century and a half agriculture has been regarded by a few of the foremost educators as worthy of a place in our public schools, but it is only within the last decade that the dream of these educators has approached realization. Agriculture, wherever well taught, has proved to be a source of strength to the school, whether a one-teacher country school, a high school, a college, or a university. In no way is it possible for the school to serve the local community more successfully than through instruction in agriculture. This may be best accomplished through the utilization of the facilities of the neighborhood as a laboratory. The gardens, orchards, and farms, and, indeed, the gardeners and farmers themselves, should be utilized to the fullest extent. By this means the school and the community are brought into the closest relations, and there is awakened among the farmers a lively interest in the work of the school. If the farmer is to support properly his own family and the two town families for whom he must provide food, he will need all the help that science can give. The way the two families in town will live is definitely related to the degree of skill with which the farmer tills his land and the degree of intelligence which the townspeople display in utilizing the farmer's products. This book is for students who desire a practical working knowledge of the essentials of agriculture. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
