Fitzroy B. Beckford is an agricultural scientist who holds a PhD in Sustainability Education with a research emphasis on integrated food-energy systems (IFES). Integral areas of his work include concepts in nutrient biogeochemical cycling and restorative anthropedogenesis.

Summary

Ever since Europeans made contact with the west, a series of global circumstances have led to serious impacts on the global biogeochemical cycles. Addressing the broken biogeochemical cycles should be done with a clear understanding that it was not only humans who were subjugated, but also land, water, and air.
