Book excerpt: This work is an excellent first-hand report documenting organic agriculture as practiced in the far east over a hundred years ago before the invention of artificial fertilizers. This book follows the trip of some travelers through various Asian countries around 1909. Writing about the traveler's observations, the author describes the agricultural activities they encounter in those countries. The author discusses the traditional farming practices of the densely populated lands of China, Korea, and Japan and shows how they maintained fertility over many centuries by preserving and using natural resources. It helps understand how the Asian countries grew crops on the same small area of ground without any pesticides and chemicals. This book contains well-written descriptions of their lands and techniques and more than two hundred illustrations that help readers learn about the subject more effectively.

This book was released on 2015-01-15 with total page 381 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We in North America are wont to think that we may instruct all the world in agriculture, because our agricultural wealth is great and our exports to less favored peoples have been heavy; but this wealth is great because our soil is fertile and new, and in large acreage for every person. We have really only begun to farm well. The first condition of farming is to maintain fertility. This condition the oriental peoples have met, and they have solved it in their way. We may never adopt particular methods, but we can profit vastly by their experience. With the increase of personal wants in recent time, the newer countries may never reach such density of population as have Japan and China; but we must nevertheless learn the first lesson in the conservation of natural resources, which are the resources of the land.

Download or read book The Soil and Health written by Albert Howard and published by A Distant Mirror. This book was released on 2020-03-22 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a newly edited revision of Albert Howard's important text on organic farming and gardening, and the central role of humus in maintaining soil health and fertility. No single generation has the right to exhaust the soil from which humanity must draw its sustenance. Modern agricultural practices, with their emphasis on chemicals, poisons, and toxins, lead to the impoverishment and death of the soil. THE SOIL AND HEALTH is a detailed analysis of the vital role of humus and compost in soil health — and the importance of soil health to the health of crops and the humans who eat them. The author is keenly aware of the dead end which awaits humanity if we insist on growing our food using artificial fertilisers and poisons. Albert Howard (1873-1947) was one of the leaders of the British organics movement in the mid-twentieth century. He was the first westerner to document and publish research on traditional techniques of agriculture, including Indian and Chinese farming and management of the soil.
