The organic farming revolution that has swept the country over the past decades can trace much of its origins to the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardeners Association, which is celebrating fifty years in 2021. Reviewing the journey inorganic farming of the past half-century and looking forward to new challenges and opportunities. The Organic Farming Revolution presents a collection of essays by prominent individual involved in MOFGA's evolution as a leader in the organic movement as well as important voices in national discussion about sustainability, food resources, soil preservation, young farming, and the intersection of organic farming and human health. "Fifty years ago, a small and growing number of farmers believed there was a glimmer of hope for a different way of farming. MOFGA embodied the alternative to mainstream agriculture," writes Sarah Alexander, MOFGA's executive director. "MOFGA was a rejection of the continued exploitation of the land, a movement to return to working with nature, not against it. To be a part of nature, not separate from it. The people who founded MOFGA did not invent these principles. They've existed in every Indigenous culture that has ever lived on the earth, including the Indigenous communities that live in the lands we occupy today. MOFGA did not invent organic agriculture, for it is the way people had farmed and grown food for millennia. What MOFGA did do was create a sense of community and sharing among the farmers and gardeners who wanted to live these timeless values. This collection of essays is an extension of that mission, to share and create a sense of community for what might come next in organic agriculture." Book jacket.
