'''An Agricultural Testament''', a book by
Sir Albert Howard, is credited by some with launching the
organic farming agricultural movement. It focuses on the nature and management of
soil fertility, and notably explores
composting. At a time when modern,
chemical-based
industrialized agriculture was just beginning to radically alter food production, it advocated natural processes rather than man-made inputs as the superior approach to farming. It was first
published in
1940, and is now
out of print.
