- W2150647291 abstract "Organic farming has been one of the fastest growing markets in agriculture during the last twenty years. It combines both tradition and science to produce crops and livestock that flourish in the absence of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and hormones. The literature describing organic farming methods, history, and advances varies from personal narratives to highly controlled scientific investigations. Florian Diekmann has compiled an excellent collection of diverse materials for inclusion in agriculture, farming, and gardening collections. Diekmann is a food, agricultural, and environmental sciences librarian at The Ohio State University. He provides generalized and specialized reference, instruction, collection development, and liaises to multiple applied life sciences departments. He earned his MLIS from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and a master’s in agricultural economics from The Ohio State University. He earned his PhD in Agronomy from the Technische Universitat Munchen in Freising, Germany, where he worked on an organic farm for many years.—Editor. Organic farming has been practiced for more than one hundred years, but organic agriculture has been seriously considered as an economically viable and more environmentally sound alternative to traditional production practices for only two or three decades. The philosophical and cultural roots of the organic farming movement can be traced back to the beginning of the twentieth century; they were strongly influenced by systems thinking and the philosophy of holism. Early organic farming pioneers advocated for viewing soils as living organisms dependent on microorganisms, promoted biological concepts of soil fertility, and viewed the entire farm as a complex system governed by interacting processes linking soil organic matter to crop, animal, and human health. Global in scope from the beginning, early concepts of organic farming were developed in Germany, England, New Zealand, and the United States. Still, organic agriculture did not start to grow substantially until much later in the century when farmers and consumers became increasingly aware of the threats of environmental degradation, declining soil fertility, and major structural changes affecting the food and agricultural sectors." @default.
