Subject: Stockless Organic Farming/need help....... 

HELLO!!

STOCKLESS ORGANIC ARABLE FARMING IN THE UK

I am currently preparing a dissertation on the above subject as
part of an HND in Organic Agriculture at Broomfield College, Derby.

I am writing to see if you have any information at all on
organic/biodynamic/permaculture farming systems which do not incorporate
livestock and which do not import any animal wastes whatsoever. 

Information such as:

i.      details of organic (etc) farming systems in which livestock
        are not kept; 
ii.     ecological impacts of farming organically without animals; 
iii.    agronomic implications of stockless organic (etc) farming; 
iv.     conversion to organic stockless systems

.....are the sort of things I am looking for.  Can you help?  

INTERNATIONAL references of material, information sources, suggestions,
etc. would be most welcome! (UK material obviously preferred).  I
already have information from Elm Farm Research Centre, CWS Agriculture
and ADAS Terrington.

Many thanks.

Kind regards,

Isabel Ross
