It was Alice Oven of Taylor & Francis who made this book happen, through her proactive commissioning. The concept itself had already been brewing for a few years, and many people are integral
to its development, including Michael Roads for awaking so many people to the metaphysics of
nature, Hugh Lovel and Henk Kieft for their impetus on quantum agriculture, several colleagues
and friends for enjoyable conceptual explorations, and all the inspiring practitioners from around
the world. The international lockdown of 2020 provided the spaciousness for the book’s completion.
A big thank you to all the contributors to this book; your courage and trust is appreciated. Also
to Nick Parrott who stepped in to support the editing process; even so the first editor is responsible
for the concept and directive content of the book.
Finally, thank you to Michel Pimbert, Director of the Centre for Agroecology, Water and
Resilience at Coventry University, who has charmingly created a safe space in academia from
which this offering emerges.
A VERY SPECIAL THANK YOU
With thanks to the Trustees of the Westbank Centre Trust (SC018608) for their generous donation
