The six volumes of Encyclopaedia of Organic Farming capture the entire panorama of traditional agriculture, practiced through different cultures, across the globe. The Encyclopaedia throws light on the industrial revolution and resultant commercialism which deeply affected traditional farming for worse. The advocates of ‘profitable agriculture’ were, for some time, successful in masking the fact that traditional manures and composts were actually capable of meeting the food demands of increasing population of the world and a health soil gives the crop and immune system to fight diseases, and there are non-chemical means to fight pest and protect crops. The work makes an essential reading to students, agriculturists and regular farmers who believe in organic systems of eternal agriculture, and its undisputed utility to the mankind.
