Organic Voices for Organic Farming and Sustainable Ag

Organic Voices is the product of the dedicated passion and labor of Barry and Judy George to capture these important oral histories of Organic farming and Sustainable agriculture.

This movement toward sustainable organic agriculture has emerged during the past twenty years to reevaluate the harsh results of conventional agriculture and the practices that contribute to the social problems these old methods create.

 Today this movement for farming organic is gathering increasing support and momentum within mainstream agriculture.
 Not only does sustainable Ag address many common environmental and social concerns, but it also offers unique and economically viable opportunities for farmers, laborers, consumers, policymakers and many others in the entire food production system.

Organic Voices is an effort to identify and capture the ideas, methods and experiences that form our understanding of sustainable agriculture by preserving the authoritative voices of this monumental movement.

We do this three reasons:
 1) to preserve the oral history and experience of the pioneers who lead us and teach us the methods of
 organic farming
 2) to offer the agricultural community practical steps that may be taken in moving toward sustainable development and
 3) to make available an easy method for new organic farmers to gain the whole experiences of two decades worth of practical organic methods in a time saving learning platform.

Sustainable agriculture is still evolving, and for this reason we intend these oral history recordings to be an invitation to continue the preservation of this dynamic movement toward a better and more secure future that will benefit and bless all who join us.
