<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: large;"> Last fall on a fabulous visit to Portland, Oregon, I was thrilled to discover a display case outside the <a href="http://www.peoples.coop/">People's Food Co-op</a> with information on cover crops. This is a cornerstone of veganic growing since we build soil fertility by adding nutrients to the soil without first passing those nutrients in plant form through the body of an animal (ie, you <i>really</i> don't need animal manure, or any other animal inputs - like bone, or blood meal, etc to build excellent soil fertility!) </span></div>

<div style="color: #4d4d4f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16px; margin-top: 0px;">
<em> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;">Shizen Nouhou</span></em><span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"> or “Natural Agriculture” has many different faces. As the name suggests, it is a way of growing food similar to other ecological farming methods, such as organics and biodynamics. But it is also a way of eating, a way of cooking, and a way of thinking about food. It is practiced by farmers and consumers alike, by individuals as well as entire communities.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"> In fact, with each new person involved, Natural Agriculture takes a new shape. That’s because Natural Agriculture is not just a set of actions, it is a whole philosophy, brought to life through our relationship</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;">with food.</span><br />

<div style="color: #4d4d4f; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16px; margin-top: 0px;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: white;"> Founded in post-WWI Japan by farming pioneer and spiritual leader Mokichi Okada, Natural Agriculture is now practiced throughout the world. “Farming to Create Heaven on Earth” is an exploration of the philosophy in all its modern applications, from a CSA that feeds 1,500 families in Tokyo to a high-desert garden in the wilds of Southern Colorado. Illustrated with more than one hundred color photographs, the book profiles dozens of different Natural Agriculture farmers and consumers and how they guide their lives with this unique philosophy.</span></div>

She moved on from there to BC, Canada to pursue an interest in forest gardening. Today she consults for other farmers and is sharing the vegan organic message in the USA and Canada, and her veganic practises know-how in various ways.

<br />
The Vegan-Organic Network, in collaboration with Vegatopia, are pleased to announce a new database of over 1700 scholarly references related to the science, practice and benefits of animal free agriculture:<a href="http://www.vegatopi%20a.org/bibliograp%20hy.html"> </a><a href="http://www.vegatopia.org/dave%20of%20darlington%20database.htm">http://www.vegatopia.org/dave%20of%20darlington%20database.htm</a><br />
<br />
The database will be immensely useful for those with a research or practitioner interest in animal free agriculture, including growers, government, NGOs, academics and students. The database includes full academic references for every entry. Most entries are also annotated with summary notes and key quotations.<br />
<br />
The database is the work of the late Dave of Darlington. Dave was a vegan-organic grower in Durham who made a life work of studying the benefits of animal free agriculture in relation to its implications for world peace and ecology. As part of this, he compiled many references and related information. Dave, a gentle, modest man died in May 2008.<br />
<br />
Phil Sleigh of the Vegan-Organic Network kindly took over responsibility for the database and has converted it into the Excel spreadsheet and html versions available from <a href="http://www.vegatopia.org/bibliography.html">this link</a>. For queries, comments or corrections, contact Phil at von@sleigh.me. uk<br />

Notes :<br />
(1) Founded in 1996, the Vegan-Organic Network is an ambitious charity with<br />
an international network of active supporters. It aims to research and<br />
promote vegan-organic (stockfree) methods of agriculture and horticulture so<br />
that clean, green, cruelty-free, food becomes widely available. It publishes<br />
a magazine "Growing Green International" and advice leaflets. There is also<br />
a free advice service for members of the public, home growers, smallholders<br />
and farmers. The Network organises farm walks, allotment and garden visits<br />
and volunteer placements on stockfree holdings. VON's stockfree organic<br />
standards inspected by the Soil Association are available for farmers and<br />
growers who wish to grow produce in the most ethical and<br />
environmentally- friendly way. The stockfree organic symbol is the consumer's<br />
guarantee of "organic plus" food.<br />
<br />
(2) Founded in 2008, Vegatopia is an online resource dedicated to promoting<br />
ethical veganism through academic research and teaching and through<br />
fostering collaboration between vegan activists, NGOs, academics and others.<br />

November 12 - Stock Free Organic Farming - 8:30 pm (PST) <br />
By using crop rotations, fertility building green manures and sustainable agricultural practices, Iain Tolhurst of Tolhurst Organic Produce, Oxfordshire, UK, farms without any animal inputs, such as manures or animal byproducts. This successful vegetable box scheme producer (the UK equivalent of our CSA) provides more than 400 boxes/week of produce using 90% of his own produce and does so with a very low carbon footprint. Iain's webinar will discuss his stockfree farm, the rotations they use, how biodiversity is managed for pest and disease control, and their marketing structure. He will also show how they have developed a low carbon footprint and the development of carbon sequestration within a farm cropping system.<br />

This short video clip of Robert explain the basic principles of his 'forest gardening' method, which has inspired a whole movement of truly sustainable stock-free/plant-based growing on small-scale organic holdings.
