An Agricultural Testament
- An Agricultural Testament
"An Agricultural Testament", a book by Sir Albert Howard, is credited by some with launching the organic farming agricultural movement. It focuses on the nature and management of soil fertility, and notably explores composting. At a time when modern, chemical-based industrialized agriculture was just beginning to radically alter food production, it advocated natural processes rather than man-made inputs as the superior approach to farming. It was first published in 1940, and is now out of print.
