Re: [SANET-MG] Key Players in Sustainable Agriculture
Hi Krystle Chang,
On the global front the name Professor George Chan stands out, has
spent years perfecting; and he refers to it as the Integrated Food and
Waste Management System (IFWMS).Chan was born in Mauritius and educated
at Imperial College, London University in the United Kingdom,
specializing in environmental engineering. He was appointed director of
two important US federal programmes of the US Environmental Protection
Agency and the US Department of Energy in the US Commonwealth of the
Northern Mariana Islands of the North Pacific. On his retirement, Chan
spent 5 years in China among the Chinese peasants, and confessed he
learned just as much there as he did in University.Prof. Chan and Dr.
Mae-Wan Ho developed the "Dream Farm" concept for zero emission
agriculture.
sincerely, joe cummins

Hello everyone,
I'm pursuing a career in sustainable agriculture and I was wondering:
Who are the key players in sustainable ag? In other words, who are the
most influential people who are constantly innovating and finding new
ways to practice farming sustainably? I'm looking in particular for
those who include financial sustainability as well ( i.e. those whose
farms are successfully for-profit).
So far, the names that keep coming up are Eliot Coleman and Joel
Salatin. Are there any others paving the way like they do, and if so,
what are they doing and where are they located?
Thanks, everyone, for your input.
