The recently released book
The Real Dirt: Toward Food Sufficiency and Farm Sustainability in New England by John E. Carroll,
Professor of Environmental Conservation at the University of New Hampshire argues that a whole new smaller scale agriculture is evolving to replace New
England’s commodity agriculture based on selling to wholesale markets. He
contends that a new agriculture, smaller in scale, directly marketed, sometimes
organic, increasingly grass-based, bio-diverse, governed by biological and
ecological principles and sustainable in theory and practice is fast rising
across all of New England.
Professor Carroll will have books to sign and for sale.
