Organic Farming

by Peter V. Fossel

Going organic may be a clear way of getting back to basics--and getting away from the havoc chemicals can wreak on our health and our environment--but the basics themselves may not be so clear. How to begin? What kind of fertilizer and feed are allowed? Is there natural pest management? What does certification entail? And is this the way to go? This book covers the basics and then some. Whether youre thinking of starting an organic farm or making the transition to organics, whether youre growing crops or raising animals, youll find everything you need to know in these pages--from getting started to developing a marketing strategy. A list of resources also points the way to other books, websites, and organizations focusing on every aspect of organic farming.
