Michael Ableman - sustainable agriculture, organic farming
 

Welcome

Michael Ableman is a farmer, author, photographer and educator. A recognized practitioner of sustainable farming and agriculture, small-scale and urban farming, plus organic food and gardening, he has written several books and numerous essays and articles on the subjects. Michael is currently director of The Center for Art, Ecology & Agriculture, and a speaker at sustainability-related events worldwide.

"Ableman is a gracious rebel who knows that industrialized farming wrings
the life out of both soil and communities. His joy in stewardship and in people
celebrates a psychic sustainability that won't appear on spreadsheets."

- Sierra Magazine

Michael's Books

Fields of Plenty, by Michael Ableman

"The chronicle of a farmer's journey to the frontiers of American agriculture today, Fields of Plenty is a book of rare beauty and hope. American agriculture is in the process of being reinvented by the farmers Michael Ableman introduces us to here, and to overhear these pioneers in conversation with one of their own is exhilarating."
- Michael Pollan, author of The Omnivore's Dilemma
