Soft cover. Zustand: New. One of the main features of crop production at the present day is waste. Except in the Far East, where the large indigenous population has to be fed from the produce of the country-side, little is being done to utilize completely the by-products of the farm in maintaining the fertility of the soil. The ever-growing supplies of agricultural produce, needed by industry and trade, have been provided either by taking up new land or by the purchase of artificial manures. Both these methods are uneconomic. The exploitation of virgin soil is a form of plunder. Any expenditure on fertilizers which can be avoided raises the cost of production, and therefore reduces the margin of profit. It needs no argument to urge that, in maintaining the fertility of the soil, the most careful attention should be paid to the utilization of the waste products of agriculture itself before any demands are made on capital natural or acquired.…

Soft cover. Zustand: New. The earth's green carpet is the sole source of the food consumed by livestock and mankind. It also furnishes many of the raw materials needed by our factories. The consequence of abusing one of our greatest possessions is disease. This is the punishment meted out by Mother Earth for adopting methods of agriculture which are not in accordance with Nature's law of return. We can begin to reverse this adverse verdict and transform disease into health by the proper use of the green carpetby the faithful return to the soil of all available vegetable, animal, and human wastes. The purpose of this book is threefold: to emphasize the importance of solar energy and the vegetable kingdom in human affairs; to record author's own observations and reflections, which have accumulated during some forty-five years, on the occurrence and prevention of disease; to establish the thesis that most of this disease can be traced to an impoverished soil, which then leads to imperfectly synthesized protein in the green leaf and finally to the breakdown of those protective arrangements which Nature has designed for us.…

Nothing effective has been done to replace the loss of fertility involved in this vast increase in crop and animal production. The consequences have been disastrous. Agriculture has become unbalance: the land is in revolt: diseases of all kinds are on the increase: in many parts of the world Nature is removing the worn-out soil by means of erosion. The purpose of this book is to draw attention to the destruction of the earth's capital the soil; to indicate some of the consequences of this; and to suggest methods by which the lost fertility can be restored and maintained. It is the continuation of an earlier book, The Waste Products of Agriculture, in which the Indore method for maintaining soil fertility by the manufacture of humus from vegetable and animal wastes was described.…

Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: No Dust Jacket As Issued. First Edition. "For the last twenty-six years, the senior author has been engaged in the study of crop production in India and in devising means by which the produce of the soil could be increased by methods within the resources of the small holder. Improved varieties plus better soil conditions were found to produce an increment up to a hundred per cent or even more. By welding the care of the manure heap, green-manuring and the preparation of artificial farmyard manure into a single process very marked progress was accomplished at the Institute of Plant Industry at Indore, India. This Indore process for the manufacture of humus is described in detail in the following pages. It can be applied to the utilization of all human, animal and vegetable wastes in such a manner that the breeding of flies is prevented, the water and the food-supply of the people safeguarded and the general health of the locality improved. Cleaner and healthier villages will then go hand in hand with heavier crops." - Preface. "Sir Albert Howard (1873-1947) was the first Westerner to document and publish the Indian techniques of sustainable agriculture. Though he journeyed to India to teach Western agricultural techniques he found that the Indians could in fact teach him more. He built on the traditional Indian composting system into what is now known as the Indore method. This book is considered by some as his most important scientific publication. He is grouped, along with Rudolf Steiner, Sir Robert McCarrison and Richard St. Barbe Baker, as one of the key progenitors of the Western Organic agriculture movement." - Wikipedia. xiv, 167 pages.
