'Towards An Alternative Agriculture' - Stuart B Hill Gavett, EE 1975. Can 1918 Farming Feed 1975 People? t. Farm index 13 (8) 1013. Alternatives.19. 1947. The Soil and Health A Study of Organic agriculture. http://sites.uws.edu.au/research/SERG/TowardsAltAgric_Hill.htm
Extractions: References Cited Some view ecological or organic farming as the way of the past. I tend to view it as the way of the future. For an increasing number of people, it is the way of the present. For some it is a new technique; and for others, a kind of religion. It is really all of these things: the past, present, and future brought together with a new technology and life-style. It is important that we do not concentrate on just one part of this and that we view it as one aspect of an attempt to establish a life-style for our species that can be permanent within the limitations of geological change. In defining the problem of this conference, I would like to focus on the soil-food-health chain (Figure 1). I hope that by doing this some of the fundamental differences between current and ecological methods of food production will be clarified. There are two primary needs within this chain: 1. A permanent, self-sustaining system for producing food and fiber. As the present system is dependent on fossil fuels and other nonrenewable resources, it can be only temporary. He have to establish a "post-industrial" agriculture.

Center For Sustainable Agriculture : University Of Vermont Center Programs This index gives a brief description Enterprises Enhancing Farm ViabilityAlternatives to production important to Vermont s agricultural future http://www.uvm.edu/~susagctr/
Extractions: email: sustainable.agriculture@uvm.edu The Center for Sustainable Agriculture was established in 1994 as a unit within the University of Vermont to integrate university and community expertise to promote sustainable farming systems throughout Vermont and the region. Our programs are collaborative efforts that always involve farmers, the University, and other organizations. Many people want to farm in Vermont, but finding a place to do it can be challenging. Land Link Vermont, coordinated by Deb Heleba, addresses the obstacles farmers face in securing and transferring land. The program manages a matching service that connects new-entry and transitioning farmers with retiring farmers and non-farming landowners. Land Link also offers workshops, publications, and consultations that provide information about farmland tenure options, inter-generational transfer of farms, and farm management. To assure a bright future for agriculture in Vermont, it is critical that we address the special needs of beginning farmers. The Center is a founding member of the Vermont New Farmer Network, which helps new farmers succeed by enhancing their access to land, capital, markets and production skills. The Center facilitates collaboration among the Network's members, and guides new farmers to the resources they need.
