It is also a book of hope, showing that the old agriculture is now the new agriculture - the farming of the future. Patrice Newell has dedicated her life to understanding what it takes to create a sustainable and healthy agricultural business. Who's Minding the Farm? shows that it takes minds, muscles and conscious decisions to manage the land, to build a sustainable, organic alternative to industrialised farming. We must all work to conserve our most crucial assets: soil and water, and repaired the havoc caused by land clearing, toxic chemicals, feral plants and animals. Each one of us, in our consumption choices and how we live influences the management of the land." -- Provided by publisher. 0aSustainable agriculture.2AgriculturexSchool of Engineering and Technology 0aOrganic farming.2AgriculturexSchool of Engineering and Technology 0aCrops and climate.2AgriculturexSchool of Engineering and Technology
