Sustainable Food and Agriculture Resources

While I sit here on my soapbox shouting out to the world about all kinds of amazing ways that we can meet our food-system needs without utterly devastating our earth and the good people on it, sometimes I forget that not everyone thinks like me, or even has the same informational background I do...

So here is a chance for all of you who would like to learn more to have a look at some other places you can learn about this stuff I'm preaching:

Soil Microbiology and Agriculture:

http://biologicsystemsusa.com/ - My Company! Check us out, and our website is pretty rich with information, research, supplies, and more.


http://biologicsystemsusa.com/docs/catalog.pdf - Produced by my company, our catalog is actually an amazing way to get some perspective on this whole approach without having to 'buy the cow,' as they say

http://www.soilfoodweb.com/sfi_approach1.html - This is the website for all your Soil/Microbe/Plant interaction information. Dr Ingham, president of Soil Foodweb Inc, is a personal hero of mine, an amazing scientist, and an inspired change-agent.

 Soil Carbon Sequestration and Cows


http://www.savoryinstitute.com/ - Allan Savory is the founder of the Holistic Management movement, and his book is worth reading for anyone. Savory works all over the world to spread his experience and knowledge working with cows and other large herd animals to actually heal land. (Check out the project he did in Zimbabwe in a recent post of mine!)

http://soilcarboncoalition.org/ - These guys are serious about impacting climate change by putting the carbon back where it belongs, in the soil! There are some incredible stories, some really educational articles and papers, and be sure to check out the interactive map where you can actually see where (and how much) people have made a difference on their farm!

Enjoy these links! I'm sure there is plenty more to come...
