About this listen
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.

How farming the right way can save the planet
Mark's S. T. U. N method is really worth exploring, as it offers a minimal imputs agroforestry model.. Really impressive, but this is a book packed with info, a text book for truly sustainable and nature mimicking farming..

Totally inspiring!!
This book has completely blown my mind and the obvious brilliance of it all is truly inspiring. Of course why hasn't any thought to simply copy what nature has been doing right all this time. Superb!!

Muddled and not clearly expressed.
I had high hopes for this book... unfortunately it zig-zaged across themes of conversation in a muddled fashion lacking any direction and sensible continuity. The book's content applies only to one part of the USA so much if it has no relevance to Europe, Asia or South America. It is in fact somewhat parochial and colloquial and I am afraid, being European was struggling to gain much information from it.
