Wes Jackson - USDA Alternative Agriculture Oral Histories

length:   credit: Permaculture TV

One in a series of oral history interviews created by AFSIC to capture the leaders in sustainable agriculture from the decades preceding the 1990s. Interview recorded in 1990.

Wes Jackson, Ph.D., as the co-founder with Dana Jackson of the Land Institute, has researched and influenced thought on the environment and agriculture in general and specifically perennial polyculture cropping systems based on the prairie ecosystem. He is a farmer, philosopher and author of several landmark books on the subject of sustainable agriculture.

The segments in the Questions section are drawn from the full interview. They duplicate video segments from the menu. These are not verbatim questions asked by the interviewer, but rather topics addressed by Dr. Jackson during the course of his interview. We hope that this will be an informative and interesting way to view the conversation.
