The Living Soil

First edition
(publ. Faber & Faber)

The Living Soil (1943) by Lady Eve Balfour is considered a seminal classic in organic agriculture and the organic movement.[1] The book is based on the initial findings of the first three years of the Haughley Experiment, the first formal, side-by-side farm trial to compare organic and chemical-based farming, started in 1939 by Balfour (with Alice Debenham), on two adjoining farms in Haughley Green, Suffolk, England.[2][3][4]

The Living Soil was also published as The Living Soil and the Haughley Experiment.[5]
