Food Gardens for a Changing World

Food gardening is becoming increasingly popular, as people look for new ways to live more sustainably and minimize harm to the environment. This book addresses the most pressing challenges facing food gardening in the 21st century -- the climate crisis, worldwide changes in the environment, natural resources, and communities -- and the basic biological, ecological and social concepts which influence our understanding and capacity to respond to these challenges. Examples throughout the text demonstrate how gardeners can use these concepts to their advantage.
