A review of the work of the founder of the organic farming movement, Sir Albert Howard, by Keith Addison: “I’ll never finish reading this book — I’ve read it through three times and referred to it scores of times, and each time I learn something new. Meanwhile I’ve read Howard’s other books, and a lot of his papers and essays, and a great deal besides. I’ve talked to many other people, seen many other organics projects, farms and gardens in many different areas; I’ve used these techniques myself in a variety of settings, and it all confirms Howard’s thesis. I still see it mostly in the Third World development context. To me organic farming is THE basic appropriate technology for rural areas. It’s the best place to start — get this right and so many of the other problems will simply vanish.” Includes a short bibliography and links to Howard’s major works and many of his published papers.
