Healthy soil and sustainable growing

[Dieter Brand <diebrand@yahoo.com>]

>Thus America a century ago had two separate systems of food production.

These two systems always existed side by side, and still do in many parts of 
the World, but they are not “separate”, since the intensively farmed kitchen 
garden depends on the fertility input from the fields, in particular from the 
grazing land, mostly in form of manure.  Thus the “intensively” farmed 
kitchen garden is only possible because of the fertility inputs from the 
“extensively” farmed fields.
