The latest issue of  "Countryside" magazine (Sept/Oct) contains Part I of an article entitled "Achieving Food Independence on the Modern Homestead" and this first part focus mainly on what it calls the beginning: the soil.  The author, Harvey Ussery states, "We must never be casual about wise use of the soil."
 
It's a good article, touching on many of the points we've been discussing: the need for organic matter, avoidance of excessive tillage, the contrast of natural systems versus those of agriculture, vermiculture, cover crops...  Looks to be the start of a good series.
