Albrecht's Foundation Concepts, Vol. I
Regular price $30.99
DESCRIPTION
This valuable collection of essays reveals the insights of a brilliant soil scientist who was ahead of his time. In this volume, readers will find a carefully organized and convincing explanation of the relationship between plants and animals. Dr. William Albrecht sustains his theory and observation that a declining soil fertility, due to a lack of organic material, major elements, and trace minerals – or a marked imbalance in these nutrients – was responsible for poor crops and in turn for pathological conditions in animals fed deficient feeds from soils. These papers addressed to scientists, and especially to farmers who worked with nature are an invaluable foundation for anyone interested in sustainable agriculture.

About William A. Albrecht
William A. Albrecht (1888–1974) Ph.D., was undoubtedly the preeminent soil scientist of his time. During his long and distinguished career, Dr. Albrecht made the case for an agronomy based on healthy soil ecosystems rather than simplistic chemical inputs, even as this latter approach was being introduced as the “scientific” agriculture of the future. Dr. Albrecht was a prolific author of articles, books, and scientific reports; upon his death in 1974, his research was willed to Acres U.S.A. founder and his personal friend, Charles Walters. Dr. Albrecht’s work continues to be published and rings just as true today as it did when first discovered.
