Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - 'Tree Crops' is a visionary and foundational text in the fields of sustainable agriculture and permaculture. Written by the influential geographer J. Russell Smith, this work presents a compelling argument for a permanent agriculture that prioritizes the cultivation of food-bearing trees over traditional annual tillage, particularly on sloping and marginal lands. Smith highlights the devastating impact of soil erosion caused by conventional farming practices and offers a practical, ecological solution through the integration of nut- and fruit-bearing trees into the landscape.The book meticulously explores the economic and environmental potential of various species, including chestnuts, walnuts, pecans, and mulberries, detailing their roles in providing fodder for livestock and food for human consumption. By advocating for a harmonious relationship between human industry and the natural environment, 'Tree Crops' serves as both a manual for restorative land management and a prophetic warning against the exhaustion of the earth's resources. This classic work remains essential reading for farmers, ecologists, and anyone interested in the origins of modern regenerative agriculture and the long-term sustainability of our global food systems.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
