Manifesto for Sustainable Agriculture (Italian edition) By Lydia & Claude Bourguignon

The Manifesto for Sustainable Agriculture is a powerful essay written by soil microbiologists Lydia and Claude Bourguignon, pioneers in the reflection on the preservation of the fertility of agricultural lands. Published in Italian by Possibilia editore, This book highlights the excesses of globalization and the "green revolution," which have impoverished biodiversity and weakened European farmers.

The authors point out that the promises of productivity and prosperity of this model have not been fulfilled. On the contrary, the reliance on chemical inputs, soil depletion, and the loss of organic wealth have compromised the sustainability of modern agriculture.

This manifesto proposes a clear vision: to give back to thesustainable agriculture its central role in our societies. An agriculture capable of:

• produce Quality foods,

• respect the ecosystems,

• ensure the farmers the sustainability of their profession,

• recreate a link between citizens and food production.

The work is structured around several essential sections:

• History of the Destruction of French Agriculture : analysis of biological, chemical, and physical soil degradation.

• Green evolution : ways to restore fertility, better manage crops, and preserve biodiversity.

• The role of citizens : show that society as a whole is an agent of change towards sustainable agriculture.

The Bourguignons remind us of two undeniable truths: we can do without many industrial goods, but never without food; and the only sustainable source of wealth for a nation lies in the ability to cultivate the land according to the principles of sustainability.

With clarity and commitment, this book demonstrates that a Soil-friendly agriculture is not a utopia but a vital necessity.
