Meer over het boek

Bromfield, a World War I ambulance driver and Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist, transitioned from literary fame to establish a visionary agrarian project in Ohio. At his experimental farm, Malabar, he implemented innovative farming practices that laid the groundwork for America's first wave of organic farming. His pioneering ideas not only cultivated sustainable agriculture but also predated the environmental movement, influencing future generations long before the publication of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring.
