Ecology in Organic Ag: Combining Farming, Science
MADISON, WI, OCTOBER 27, 2009 – Agriculture is going through a profound revolution -- one that rivals the industrial revolution of the 19th century and the green revolution of the 20th century, so says the authors of a new book, Organic Farming: The Ecological System, which combines farmer experience and wisdom with the best that science has to offer. The book’s chapters can help consumers better understand how organic systems can be designed to meet human needs while also preserving the natural environment.
