Dedicated to his first wife and co-worker, herself a plant phsyiologist, it focuses on the nature and management of soil fertility, and notably explores composting. At a time when modern, chemical-based industrialized agriculture was just beginning to radically alter food production, it advocated natural processes rather than man-made inputs as the superior approach to farming.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46451732086935,"sku":"9781774641439","price":954.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781774641439.webp?v=1769138358","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/an-agricultural-testament-9781774641439","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
