ABSTRACT
As has been mentioned, Jenks considered the Soil Association as part of a larger organic movement. His own activities would stretch across this wider sphere: during the decade after the war, he played central parts in the Rural Reconstruction Association and Church and Countryside; published his major book From the Ground Up (1950); and, 5 years later, was the main draughtsman of the RRA’s report Feeding the Fifty Million (1955). Besides being the man behind the voice of the Soil Association, Mother Earth, he founded and edited Rural Economy, the monthly journal of the RRA and ERC. He also remained involved with fascism through the creation of the Union Movement’s agricultural policy, None Need Starve (1952).
