Description: Sir Albert Howard's "Farming and Gardening for Health or Disease" is based on observations of traditional farming methods in South Asia. Sent from Britain to work as an agricultural advisor to teach the locals how to farm, Howard quickly discovered that they had much more to teach him, and particularly noted the connection between healthy soil and the villages' healthy populations, livestock and crop. The ideas and holistic principles he articulated inspired the founders of the Soil Association
