The Living Soil and the Haughley Experiment

Lady Eve Balfour's "The Living Soil" details the groundbreaking Haughley Experiment, a long-term study comparing organic and conventional farming methods.

The results demonstrated the superiority of organic farming in terms of soil health, crop yields, and overall ecosystem resilience.

The book highlights the importance of soil biology and the interconnectedness of all living organisms in the agricultural system.

Balfour's work provided crucial evidence supporting the principles of organic agriculture and challenged the prevailing practices of the time.

Her research continues to be influential in the ongoing debate about sustainable and environmentally friendly farming practices.
