Sir Albert Howard

Sir Albert Howard is often referred to as the father of modern organic agriculture. He has also been called the father of modern composting, for his refinement of a traditional Indian composting system into what is now known as the Indore method. He went on to document and develop organic farming techniques, and spread his knowledge through the UK-based Soil Association, and the Rodale Institute in the US.
