Voices From The Soil

📖 The Scoop

Long overdue, this collection of timeless Acres U.S.A. interviews includes 25 diverse voices who sparked a movement still rapidly growing today around the world: organic, eco-agriculture. In 1976, when the first interview in this book was recorded, only a few lone voices in the agriculture industry could be heard teaching about soil health, holistic land and animal management, and this wild idea of organic farming. More than 45 years later, when the last interview in this book was recorded, the organic food industry had rocketed into the billions of dollars and a new progression of regenerative agriculture was starting to sweep the world. These pages include 25 free thinkers whose ideas and actions were fundamental in this continued evolution in favor of soil health and human health.

You'll read interviews that include:

• William A. Albrecht explaining eco-agriculture in 1976;
• Charles Walters' timeless talk on change in farming;
• Wendell Berry's warning about fear after 9/11;
• Elaine Ingham's groundbreaking interview on soil biology;
• Gabe Brown's launch of the regenerative ag movement;
• And more, including Dr. Vandana Shiva, Eliot Coleman, Jerry Brunetti, Bill Mollison, Leah Penniman, and Gary Zimmer!
