My father was a small-town doctor who also ran a family farm. I live on the same land, but the farm has been fallow while I worked desk jobs. Having improved my health by eating fresh food instead of processed, I now want to farm full time and help others do the same.

I have worked to merge ecology and economy since Earth Day 1970. I could see that ecosystems are our most important yet most neglected infrastructure, and that one day, assuring their vitality would be a major sector of the world economy.
