On the road to food self-sufficiency!
Faced with the many questions and concerns about what we eat today, more and more of us want to regain control over what we eat. And vegetable gardening is one of the solutions!
Vegetables, fruit, condiments... Garden produce is an important part of our daily diet. Thanks to this book, you'll discover the ABCs of creating an autonomous, diversified and sustainable vegetable garden, cultivating and maintaining it, following the main principles of permaculture. In this way, your vegetable garden will be able to accommodate a few fruit trees and shrubs, as advocated by agroforestry.
If you're aiming for greater food self-sufficiency and you have enough land, you can also combine your vegetable garden with cereal crops, hens and a few beehives.
Gaining self-sufficiency in food means being less dependent on agri-food circuits, and therefore regaining a little power! But it also means enjoying the pleasure of tasty, healthy produce straight from your garden, in an environmentally-friendly way.
Food self-sufficiency: a dream within reach!
