Joel Salatin Bücher

Immer wieder tauchen sie in den Medien auf: erschütternde Bilder und Berichte von grausamer Massentierhaltung, Bienensterben, Pestizidverseuchung. Und es wird immer mehr Menschen klar, dass es so nicht weitergehen kann. Gottes Schöpfung ist gefährdet, die Welt, die er dem Menschen anvertraut hat. Öko-Farmer Joel Salatin weiß genau, wovon er spricht. Seit vielen Jahren betreibt er eine Farm, auf der er alles praktisch lebt, was er vertritt. Er ist überzeugt: Die „Gebrauchsanweisung“ für nachhaltige Landwirtschaft hat Gott in der Bibel höchstpersönlich geliefert, und wenn wir seine überraschend vielfältigen Prinzipien befolgen, ist eine gute, gesunde Nutzung der Ressourcen zum Wohl aller möglich. Allgemein verständlich, mit viel Humor, aber auch scharfer Kritik nimmt Joel Salatin den Leser mit auf eine faszinierende Reise, die ganz neu inspiriert, Gottes Schöpfung in jeder Hinsicht zu respektieren, zu genießen und zu feiern.

Because this is a program weighted toward creativity, management, entrepreneurism and observation, it breathes fresh air into farm economics.
