Albert Howard

Albert Howard was a British agronomist and one of the pioneers of organic farming in the early 20th century. He emphasized the importance of healthy soil and the natural processes of composting to enhance agriculture. Howard's work criticized chemical fertilizers and promoted sustainable farming practices that maintain ecological balance. His influential book, "An Agricultural Testament," encouraged farmers to observe nature's systems and work with them rather than against them. His ideas laid the groundwork for modern organic agriculture, advocating for a holistic approach to farming that supports biodiversity and environmental health.
