Restoration Agriculture reveals how to sustainably grow perennial food crops that can feed us in our resource-compromised future.

The restoration agriculture system described in this award-winning book works! It is possible for humans to produce staple foods using perennial agricultural ecosystems that actually improve the quality of the environment. This can be done on a backyard, farm, or ranch scale and is needed right now - on a global scale.

Restoration Agriculture explains how we can have all of the benefits of natural, perennial ecosystems and create agricultural systems that imitate nature in form and function while still providing for our food, building, fuel, and many other needs. Using the restoration agriculture system, an oak savanna mimic will produce more than twice the number of edible human calories per acre as an average acre of corn, never needs to be planted again, prevents erosion, creates oil, and can be managed with no fossil fuel inputs. This book, based on real-world practices, presents an alternative to the agriculture system of eradication and offers exciting hope for our future.

not only am I going to partially use this book as a guide for my future self sufficient farm but I would use it as a revolutionary solution to our growing agriculture problems. I would invoke any person whether backyard gardeners to large scale farmers to read and think about how the conditions of our annual agriculture system aren't getting better and the lengths we are taking to maintain it not only are damaging to our planet but to our health and well being and will not last forever. it's an ever growing world and we need to grow with it or end up like the dinos and fallen civilizations before us.

I absolutely loved this book. We have been on a gardening journey for awhile, studied a lot of different ideas. It wasn't until this book that everything seemed to click in my head. Every alternative gardening method is right as long as we combine them all? Seems to easy, though in reality it is that easy.

This book is so good.

I'm going to use a lot of what I've learned in this book on my own property and hopefully inspire others to do the same.

very informative

I was instantly drawn in to the possibilities spoken about in this book. Often, reading books based on southern growing techniques, I was thrilled to read a book that was reach to the more northern regions. Living in central Canada, I can’t wait to put some of these practices into my forty acre homestead and community garden grown for those less fortunate! Such a great read!

anyone worried about agriculture practices and the environmental degradation that follows will be captivated by this book. Mark Shepard is permaculture farming on an industrial scale, his perspective on how to farm is truly unique. I have struggled coddling fruit trees but I am adopting the STUN method of planting and will definitely view and approach things differently after learning from this book.

brilliant eye opening perspective on agriculture!
