I like books which get to the point right away.

This one is the best book on no till vegetable farming I have read so far. Will recommend without any reservations:

> **[No-Till Intensive Vegetable Culture: Pesticide-Free Methods for Restoring Soil and Growing Nutrient-Rich, High-Yielding Crops](https://www.amazon.in/No-Till-Intensive-Vegetable-Culture-Pesticide-Free-ebook/dp/B084GTTDM2/)**

And to really understand the science behind soil - this one is great - you don’t need to be a farmer to read this - useful for home gardeners or people who are just curious. Best part of the book is the set of thumb-rules at the end - keep those in mind, and you increase your chances of success growing as a gardener or as a farmer, manifold.

Communities will survive only if they can create some evolutionary advantage. If you guys haven’t heard of the book The Social Conquest of Earth, this evolutionary - biological YouTube video should help with the summary. Thanks
