The magnificent ecosystem that nature took millions of years to create is, within the course of one generation, being destroyed by humanity. Mother Earth is talking to us through her droughts, famines, fires and diseases, but few of us are listening. While on occasions we hear the public outcry about the depletion of the ozone layer, the growing problem of pollution, the indiscriminate use of pesticides, the systematic destruction of our forests and the ravages of 'killer' diseases, few have taken the time to study the problem as a whole.

EMPTY HARVEST puts together a sober picture of how interconnected humans are to the earth and how this connection is being destroyed link by link. While looking at the better known man-made disasters such as the 'greenhouse effect', the indiscriminate use of toxic pesticides and the wholesale destruction of the world's forests, it clearly focuses on the existing dangers inherent in our agricultural system. It provides startling new information about problems that have been hidden from the general public the demineralisation of our soil, the declining nutritional value of our food supply, the resulting weakening of our bodies' immune systems and much more. EMPTY HARVEST is a groundbreaking book that examines just what the total problem is.

But beyond just simply citing crises, EMPTY HARVEST offers a wide range of practical solutions that are still available to humanity long-term solutions that can mend nature's broken links if applied in time.

About the Author:

Dr. Bernard Jensen was one of America's pioneering nutritionists and iridologists. Beginning his career in 1929 as a chiropractor, he soon turned to the art of nutrition for his own health problems. He observed firsthand the cultural practices of people in more than fifty-five countries, discovering important links between food and health. In 1955, Dr. Jensen established the Hidden Valley Ranch in Escondido, California as a retreat and learning center dedicated to the healing principles of nature where he saw firsthand the value of nutrition and iridology.

Over the years, Dr. Jensen received many honors and awards, including Knighthood in the Order of St. John of Malta; the Dag Hammarskjold Peace Award of the Pax Mundi Academy in Brussels, Belgium; and an award from Queen Juliana of the Netherlands for his nutritional work. In 1982, he also received the National Health Federation's Pioneer Doctor of the Year award.
