Ben Falk (Author)
"The Resilient Farm and Homestead is a comprehensive how-to guide for building durable and productive land-based systems through the reciprocal interplay of humans and the natural world. In the ten years since he first published this seminal work, author Ben Falk has deepened wisdom in harnessing nature-based solutions for increasingly challenging times, including addressing severe climate disruptions like drought and flood conditions. Complete with updated full-color photography and detailed design drawings, the book covers earthworks, gravity-fed water systems, soil fertility management, growing nutrient-dense food and medicine, fuelwood production, agroforestry, restorative grazing, and may other urgent topics including Designing greenhouses and microclimates --Reinvigorating human health and embodying a vigorous lifestyle -- Raising children on land -- Creating failure-proof and resilient energy systems -- Permaculture beekeeping -- Proven cold-climate plants -- Overcoming analysis paralysis and much, much more!"--Page 4 of cover
