Do the endless stream of food scares and scandals worry you? Do the
chemicals used to grow our food concern you? Do you feel uneasy about
how our food is processed and the impact on our health? These same
issues motivated Diane and Yusuf (Joe) Yusuf to start growing organic
food many years ago. Taking back control of our food, to whatever degree
we can, is important for environmental, sustainability and health
reasons. Moving from the UK to Cyprus in 2009, provided the authors with
new gardening challenges. They had to adapt their growing methods to a
subtropical climate whilst aiming to grow more of their own food and
meet the demands of cultivating unfamiliar crops. The book shares their
research and experiences and will provide guidance and advice to new or
seasoned gardeners who choose, for whatever reason, to take back as much
control of their food as time allows. This book is for you if you want
to: Learn how and why to grow organically for safer, tastier and more
nutritious food. Learn how to grow your own food cheaply as possible
with many tips on how to keep gardening costs to a minimum. Learn how to
preserve, store and use your produce in many other ways.
