Pioneers of the Organic Movement
Organic Agriculture owes its continued existence to their hard work and perseverance of a few progressive minds, able to see beyond the hype of conventional farming practices. These progressive thinkers helped us to save many traditional sustainable practices, look critically at industrial agricultural systems, while at the same time developing new sustainable agriculture technologies.

The Origins of the Organic Movement by Phillip Conford

The National Agricultural Library conducted oral history interviews with eleven people who provided leadership and inspiration in the field of alternative or sustainable agriculture. They are in the process of converting these to digital format. Three have been completed and are available online:
Wes Jackson, Robert Rodale, Garth Youngberg.

The University of California (Santa Cruz) has also recently completed a series of 58 oral history interviews with farmers, activists, researchers, and educators, documenting the history of organic farming in Central California from the 1960s to the present.

If you have something more to offer to the platform please contact the coordinator, or submit information and resources.
