Description
Title: Healthy Crops
Author: Francis Chaboussou
Blurb: Recommended by Dr Arden Andersen, this book reminds us that there are genuine alternatives to the chemical agriculture treadmill, especially now that farming is becoming more intensive and GM crops are promoted as another “techno-fix”;.
Chaboussou, an agronomist and agricultural theorist, questions the main arguments for industrial agriculture and proposes a new revolution in ecological agriculture – where plant physiology relationships are scrutinised and the health of crops improved with natural methods rather than using chemicals to eliminate pests and diseases thereby producing weaker plants.
