"We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." Albert Einstein

Agriculture cannot be separated from Nature, our health, or the environment. Likewise, soil, its biology, and its vitality are directly connected to plant health and, thus, our food, energy, and planetary future. By practicing Conscious Agriculture widely, we can get on board with "biological farming" and leave behind the myths and deceptions of chemical agriculture. Let's demystify modern scientific thinking and educate the public to reach the common knowledge of Nature's wisdom and systems.
This book is a clarion call to action for all regenerative and ecological farmers as well as organic consumers, foodies, and chefs interested in local food and slow food. Combining ancient wisdom with modern understanding is the way. We can advocate a deeper connection with Nature that encourages renewing the land and building a living, humus topsoil. The conscious farming community is well-suited to join in this revival as a healing activity. Together we will nourish our home for generations to come.
In particular, the Australian Demeter Biodynamic Method (ADBM) has the potential to be the most important self-sustaining solution to quality food production. This practice not only covers seed, carrot, and hoof to table but also organizes every step in-between in a holistic approach that benefits all of Nature. For example, ADBM has the capacity to transform soil efficiently, economically, and on a grand scale as required for the agriculture of today.
