«This “adventurous story” of organic, goes deeply in history and is rich in information that you cannot find anywhere else, it gives a credit to a true adventure of human intelligence and passion for the greater good.» - Piero Bevilacqua, historian
It’s widely believed that the organic movement originate in the general context of the spring of ecological awareness in the early seventies, this in fact favors the development of production and of organic food production, at that time were mostly understood as "pesticide-free".
The organic cultural movement was born much earlier, during the nineteenth century, and it began to take evidence in the period between the two world wars, as a reaction to the industrialization of agriculture and the spread of mechanization and synthetic fertilizers. The book retraces the "adventurous history" of organic, through events and important people of the organic history.
The last part of the volume is dedicated to emerging issues, to the relation between organic and the bio-economy and agro-ecology. The historian Piero Bevilacqua writes: « The first and perhaps most important ideal reason for this book is to provide of historical roots of organic production, that it is not an economic sector like any other but a very original mixture of scientific knowledge and humanistic values, of alternative world views and plans for futures developments of society».
