A propos de cet article

"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. Index, tables and black and white photographic plates. Above-average wear to original navy cloth. Spine slant. Binding intact. No dust jacket, presumably as issued. Faint writing on spine, otherwise no indications of this being a former library copy. A rare example of this profoundly important and influential work.; 8vo. …
