Before edible classrooms began "sprouting" in elementary schools, before buzzwords like "sustainable agriculture", "organic," or "veganic" came into existence, an exceptional woman named Ellen G. White penned numerous letters and articles on the importance of farming, an outdoor life, and manual labor. Though often remembered for other things, Mrs. White was actively engaged in not only farming, but helping those in need to get established on farms. With God's leading, her guiding hand was also deeply involved in the establishment of a model school in Australia-a school that wrapped farming deeply into its highly successful curriculum. The writings of Ellen White contain a treasure house of scientific insights, many of which are just now coming to the attention of researchers. Her writings offer wisdom and helpful advice on a wide variety of topics, including health, nutrition, medicine, narcotics, physiology, plant science and geology. In recognition of her contributions along health lines, in 1986 the National Health Federation posthumously awarded Mrs. White 'The President's Award' for her uncanny medical insights. A hundred years have now come and gone since her death, yet the writings of this visionary woman continue, when followed, to bring much blessing to those involved.Chapter #1 begins with quotes explaining how-and why-nature is one of the most effective ways to reach human minds for God. In fact, it is even called the "key to unlocking God's Word." The last part of Chapter #1 explains why farming is the most consistent way to reach souls through nature.Chapter #2 covers the farm as God's training school, and how it is one of the most effective ways to reach-and positively impact-the lives of young people. This chapter also includes information on why education close to nature is superior to spiritual growth, and how being out in-and learning about-nature is especially valuable to small children. There is also a section on the farm as a training tool for evangelists (e.g. working hard soil is not unlike dealing with hard human hearts). This chapter ends with some quotes on God's ownership stake in school farms.Chapter #3 describes God's original homesteading plan, starting with the Garden of Eden and going through patriarchal times. The advantages of country living for child rearing are presented, together with some dangers to children from city living, and some advice on saving money and moving to the country. There are also sections on the powerful testimony of a well-kept home and farm, how farmers can be highly effective as missionaries, and God's economic plan for helping the poor. Chapter #4 details the blessings to be obtained through farming, including character development, unseen advantages, health benefits, spiritual benefits, improved thinking ability, and financial success.Chapters #5 and #6 detail the characteristics of model schools that follow God's plan. These quotes were drawn from the experience of Avondale, Madison College, Oakwood College, and other schools that were set-up with agriculture as a major part of the curriculum. Characteristics of such schools include that nature and the Bible were the primary textbooks, a hand-in-glove integration between education and the agricultural program, a balance between mental and physical labor, a rural or country location, every student learning a practical trade, farming superseding the love of sports and amusements, and teachers rolling up their sleeves and working right alongside the students. Other characteristics of successful model schools presented in detail in this section include self-sufficiency, obedience to God's plan, and size of the school (small is better). There are also some interesting quotes on why some farms fail.

Before edible classrooms began "sprouting" in elementary schools, before buzzwords like "sustainable agriculture", "organic," or "veganic" came into existence, an exceptional woman named Ellen G. White penned numerous counsels to the Seventh-day Adventist Church and its institutions on the importance of farming, an outdoor life, and manual labor. Though often remembered for other things, Mrs. White was actively engaged in not only farming, but helping those in need to get established on farms. With God's leading, her guiding hand was also deeply involved in the establishment of a model school in Australia-a school that wrapped farming deeply into its highly successful curriculum. A hundred years have now come and gone since her death, yet the writings of this visionary woman continue, when followed, to bring much blessing to those involved. In hopes that this compilation may encourage others to think deeply on and implement these counsels, this volume is humbly presented.

This book tackles an increasingly crucial question: What can we do about the seemingly intractable challenges confronting all of humanity today, including climate change, global hunger, water scarcity, environmental stress, and economic instability? The quick answers are: Build topsoil. Fix creeks. Eat meat from pasture-raised animals. Scientists maintain that a mere 2 percent increase in the carbon content of the planet’s soils could offset 100 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions going into the atmosphere. But how could this be accomplished? What would it cost? Is it even possible? Yes, says author Courtney White, it is not only possible, but essential for the long-term health and sustainability of our environment and our economy. Right now, the only possibility of large-scale removal of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere is through plant photosynthesis and related land-based carbon sequestration activities. These include a range of already existing, low-tech, and proven practices: composting, no-till farming, climate-friendly livestock practices, conserving natural habitat, restoring degraded watersheds and rangelands, increasing biodiversity, and producing local food. In Grass, Soil, Hope, the author shows how all these practical strategies can be bundled together into an economic and ecological whole, with the aim of reducing atmospheric CO2 while producing substantial co-benefits for all living things. Soil is a huge natural sink for carbon dioxide. If we can draw increasing amounts carbon out of the atmosphere and store it safely in the soil then we can significantly address all the multiple challenges that now appear so intractable.

Culture of Blessings INC, led by Mrs. Bibi Ali, who was born in a Caribbean country called Guyana, but now resides in the USA. Mrs. Bibi, through the organization that she leads, has extended her arms of help, in favor of the most vulnerable in some countries, such as Venezuela, Ghana, Uganda, Panama, and her native country of Guyana. One of the most outstanding achievements of Mrs. Bibi has been the publication of the book The Power of the Soil, which is an autobiography, where she expresses and demonstrates that the Soil has the power to revive, feed, and give hope to continue the journey. The power of the Soil is precisely the central theme of the story that concerns us, starring brave, intelligent, and beautiful children from Ghana, specifically in a rural region of Accra, the capital of this country. Remote rural regions of Uganda are also witnessing how uncertainty and despair can turn into hope. Through Culture of Blessings INC, a very significant link was established with the countries mentioned and this is how the people involved in this beautiful project, to which I have the honor of belonging, appear on the scene. Back to the Soil is a compilation of stories told by their own protagonists, life stories of children who have been touched by hope, mostly as a result of farming the land. The means by which the children have obtained support to improve their quality of life and that of their families has been Culture of Blessings, INC, led by Bibi Ali, who, like them, shares a small part of her life journey, specifically the days of her childhood, which were also full of hardship and misfortune. Culture of Blessings is made up of a group of people who work in an organized manner in different countries, detecting children and adults with pressing needs in the most vulnerable communities. The organization provides them with the necessary support, not just a financial contribution, but also advice and training, especially related to the essential principles of domestic farming since a home garden would help them to obtain healthier products to improve the family's nutrition. The purpose of sharing the experiences of these children is to raise the hopes of those in similar conditions and draw the attention of people and organizations with a willing heart to join this noble and significant work, so welcome to Back to the Soil and Culture of Blessings

"A regenerative no-till pioneer."—NBC News "We need to reintegrate livestock and crops on our farms and ranches, and Gabe Brown shows us how to do it well."—Temple Grandin, author of Animals in Translation See Gabe Brown—author and farmer—in the Netflix documentary Kiss the Ground Gabe Brown didn’t set out to change the world when he first started working alongside his father-in-law on the family farm in North Dakota. But as a series of weather-related crop disasters put Brown and his wife, Shelly, in desperate financial straits, they started making bold changes to their farm. Brown—in an effort to simply survive—began experimenting with new practices he’d learned about from reading and talking with innovative researchers and ranchers. As he and his family struggled to keep the farm viable, they found themselves on an amazing journey into a new type of farming: regenerative agriculture. Brown dropped the use of most of the herbicides, insecticides, and synthetic fertilizers that are a standard part of conventional agriculture. He switched to no-till planting, started planting diverse cover crops mixes, and changed his grazing practices. In so doing Brown transformed a degraded farm ecosystem into one full of life—starting with the soil and working his way up, one plant and one animal at a time. In Dirt to Soil Gabe Brown tells the story of that amazing journey and offers a wealth of innovative solutions to restoring the soil by laying out and explaining his "five principles of soil health," which are: Limited Disturbance Armor Diversity Living Roots Integrated Animals The Brown’s Ranch model, developed over twenty years of experimentation and refinement, focuses on regenerating resources by continuously enhancing the living biology in the soil. Using regenerative agricultural principles, Brown’s Ranch has grown several inches of new topsoil in only twenty years! The 5,000-acre ranch profitably produces a wide variety of cash crops and cover crops as well as grass-finished beef and lamb, pastured laying hens, broilers, and pastured pork, all marketed directly to consumers. The key is how we think, Brown says. In the industrial agricultural model, all thoughts are focused on killing things. But that mindset was also killing diversity, soil, and profit, Brown realized. Now he channels his creative thinking toward how he can get more life on the land—more plants, animals, and beneficial insects. “The greatest roadblock to solving a problem,” Brown says, “is the human mind.”

Thousands of years of poor farming and ranching practices—and, especially, modern industrial agriculture—have led to the loss of up to 80 percent of carbon from the world’s soils. That carbon is now floating in the atmosphere, and even if we stopped using fossil fuels today, it would continue warming the planet. In The Soil Will Save Us, journalist and bestselling author Kristin Ohlson makes an elegantly argued, passionate case for "our great green hope"—a way in which we can not only heal the land but also turn atmospheric carbon into beneficial soil carbon—and potentially reverse global warming. As the granddaughter of farmers and the daughter of avid gardeners, Ohlson has long had an appreciation for the soil. A chance conversation with a local chef led her to the crossroads of science, farming, food, and environmentalism and the discovery of the only significant way to remove carbon dioxide from the air—an ecological approach that tends not only to plants and animals but also to the vast population of underground microorganisms that fix carbon in the soil. Ohlson introduces the visionaries—scientists, farmers, ranchers, and landscapers—who are figuring out in the lab and on the ground how to build healthy soil, which solves myriad problems: drought, erosion, air and water pollution, and food quality, as well as climate change. Her discoveries and vivid storytelling will revolutionize the way we think about our food, our landscapes, our plants, and our relationship to Earth.
