About this audiobook
Re-connecting to the land and living in harmony with the natural environment are the twin touchstones of this eloquent advocacy of sustainable agriculture. Jackson says that only by returning to nature's roots can we see a valid way out of the fossil fuel farm, which breeds costly high technology, ecological damage and bankrupt small farmers.
