Albrecht on Soil Balancing
Agriculture policy begins in the soil.
In Soil Fertility & Agricultural Policy, Dr. William A. Albrecht expands his foundational work to examine how soil fertility, mineral balance, and biological systems shape not only farms, but entire agricultural policies and food systems.
Albrecht demonstrates that when soil health is ignored, the consequences extend beyond the field - affecting food quality, public health, economic stability, and national resilience. His work reveals that effective agricultural policy must be built on soil health management, regenerative agriculture principles, and ecological farming systems.
Through scientific insight and practical observation, this volume connects soil fertility to decision-making at the highest levels, showing how policies rooted in short-term production goals often undermine long-term sustainability.
Albrecht's work offers a powerful framework for rebuilding agriculture from the ground up - starting with the soil and extending through farms, markets, and institutions.
