Michael Locklear is an independent researcher and consultant with 30 years of experience in soil and nutrition research in organic farming, as well as an environmentalist and peace and health activist. Michael has published more than 200 articles on health, nutrition and alternative medicine and is a former member of the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMRI). He promotes adding minerals (not chemical fertilizers) to depleted soils to increase plant nutrients and enabling people to grow their own high quality food by converting lawns into productive vegetable gardens. Michael believes that when farmers realize they can increase their profits by selling better quality food through taking better management of their soil and land, they will do so without government assistance.
