Start a peaceful revolution by planting an edible ecosystem and
sharing the experience with your neighbors
Humans have always thrived in rich, diverse, edible ecosystems. Yet most
cities and suburbs are blanketed by lawns, ornamentals, and a lack of
biodiversity, let alone anything edible. It is within these sterile
landscapes that seeds of an edible ecosystem lie.
The Edible Ecosystem Solution is a comprehensive, practical guidebook
that looks at underutilized spaces to reveal the many opportunities for
landscape transformation that are both far-reaching and immediately
beneficial and enjoyable. Contents include:
- Hundreds of full-color infographics, illustrations, and photographs
that clearly outline the principles and concepts of edible landscape
design and benefits
- How to get started with as little as 25 square feet of land
- How to transition a garden plot into a place of edible abundance and
an edible biodiversity hot spot, living laboratory, and a source point
for transitioning and transforming community and culture
- Choosing appropriate plants for insects, wildlife, and food production
- Scaling up and networking backyard edible ecosystems at the
neighborhood level and beyond to build community food security and
resilience.
The Edible Ecosystem Solution is for everyone with access to a bit of
yard, a desire for food security, biodiversity, and a beautiful and
resilient community, and for anyone who wants to reclaim humanity's
place in a rich, abundant, edible ecosystem.
