There is nothing in the whole of nature which is more important than or deserves as much attention as the soil. Truly, it is the soil which makes the world a friendly environment for mankind. It is the soil which nourishes and provides for the whole of nature; the whole of creation depends on the soil which is the ultimate foundation of our existence.
(Friedrich Albert Fallou, 1862)
