The organic farming revolution that has swept the country over the past decades can trace much of its origins with the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association, which will be celebrating 50 years in 2021. Reviewing the high and low points of the past half-century and looking forward to new challenges and opportunities, the book presents a collection of essays by prominent individual in MOFGA's rise and evolution as well as important voices in the national discussion about sustainability, food resources, soil preservation, young farming, and the intersection of organic farming and human health. -- provided by publisher.
