            Martin Lane Technical Director of Field Science Ltd has had a lifelong  interest in farming. After leaving the RAF, where he did Cold War  service flying in the UK and Germany, he developed an interest in the  declining standard of plant, animal and human health resulting from  industrialized chemical agriculture ( 40-60% of the essential mineral  content of our food has disappeared since 1940, to be replaced by an  average of 200 chemical residues). Martin worked with a pioneer in the  improvement of livestock health via optimal nutrition and then formed a  family-owned company specializing in the improvement of plant, livestock  and human health through re-mineralizing soils after many decades of  synthetic fertiliser and chemical abuse.
 Martin still does a  lot of work with livestock, dairy and arable farmers to improve the  nutritional quality of crops and livestock and also works with a major  retailer to provide meat, fruit and vegetables of much improved  nutritional quality. He also re-mineralizes sports and amenity land to  improve quality and provide a natural resistance to disease. Martin  believes that the best way to improve human health is to re-create  healthy soil. Healthy soil produces healthy plants for the consumption  of healthy animals and humans alike. We should never forget that 47% of  the NHS budget is spent treating diseases and conditions which are the  direct and indirect results of poor quality nutrition. Martin may be  contacted on Tel: 01935 873933; fieldscience@aol.com  www.fieldscience.co.uk
