Albert Howard – A Distant Mirror

An Agricultural Testament

ALBERT HOWARD
Paperback

Drawing from decades of research and practical experience in India, Howard advocates for a harmonious relationship between agriculture and nature, emphasizing the critical role of soil health in sustainable farming practices.

In this comprehensive guide, Howard states, “The maintenance of the fertility of the soil is the first condition of any permanent system of agriculture,” highlighting the urgent need for methods that restore and preserve soil vitality rather than deplete it.

Through detailed analysis and innovative techniques like the Indore Process, which transforms organic waste into rich humus, Howard provides practical solutions for farmers seeking to revitalize their land. His observations on traditional farming practices reveal that sustainable agriculture is not just a modern concept but a return to time-tested methods that respect natural ecosystems.

Join Howard on a journey to understand the intricate connections between soil, crops, and livestock, and learn how these relationships can lead to healthier food systems and resilient communities. An Agricultural Testament is not just a book; it’s a call to action for anyone passionate about the future of food and farming. […]

ALBERT HOWARD

Paperback, Kindle, Epub.

This 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.

“Agriculture is the fundamental industry of the world and must be allowed to occupy the primary position in the economies of all countries.” – Albert Howard

A question to ChatGPT

Here is a question which I posted on X, and then decided to ask ChatGPT: Throughout history, rarity has driven value. The wealthy became patrons of unique art, music, and culture—think Renaissance art or the Church’s role in the Middle Ages. Scarcity made creativity precious and sought after. Today, we live in a world where music, art, and even writing are no longer rare. Thanks to AI, anyone can create [...]

David Major Louis Pasteur, a vaccine, and fake numbers; a familiar tale

Some creative number-crunching that worked like a charm in the 1880s is being used again. When his new rabies vaccine was killing too many people, Louis Pasteur moved the goalposts, by declaring that for 15 days after being injected, people were counted as ‘unvaccinated’; thus removing an important subset of cases from the statistics. The same trick is being played out today, allowing the myth of the ‘epidemic of the [...]
