The Profitable Farm: Balancing Business, Nature and Energy through Maximum Sustainable Output

This is a guide that introduces farmers and interested readers to MSO, maximum sustainable output, providing insight into what it entails including concepts, theory and practice. It works with the knowledge that many contemporary farming practices don’t work with sustainability models which that entail energy issues and environmental damage are pervasive. The book provides much technical and business information to the context of industry today. It proposes a business model that takes into account environmental responsibility and an onus to ensure animal welfare. Put more simply, this book takes a business perspective on how to go about farming responsibly. That said, this book isn’t oriented to beginners or those looking for a book simply on sustainable farming practices—it’s a book that assumes the farmer or academic reading it has some knowledge on running a business.
