Sustainable Agriculture and Holistic Medicine: Homeopathy on the Family Farm Glen Dupree, DVM My experience in trying to blend the philosophy and application of sustainable agriculture with the philosophy and application of holistic medicine began with my association with the Homeopathic Medical Society of the State of Pennsylvania. For the past several years the HMSSP has hosted a conference entitled “Homeopathy: Health from the Ground Up”. Read More Homeopathy and Herd Health One of the unique aspects of holistic medicine is the focus on the individual and the individual nature of health and disease.

My path as a homeopath has given me the tools to address the health of the stock on the farm, the farm itself, and the greater environment as a mutually dependent continuum.
