Elin Wägner (1882-1949) brukar räknas till de så kallade Tiotalisterna, med sitt samhällsfokuserade författarskap. Wägner var, förutom författare, även verksam som journalist. Till hennes mest kända och uppskattade skönlitterära verk hör bl.a. Norrtullsligan och Pennskaftet, men hon har även gått till historien för sitt engagemang för kvinnlig rösträtt, för fredsrörelsen och för att hon var med och grundade Rädda Barnen 1919. Wägner blev 1937 ledamot av Samfundet De Nio. 1944 blev hon ledamot av Svenska Akademien. I stridsskriften Fred med jorden (1940) presenterar Elin Wägner tillsammans med politikern, feministen, jordbrukaren och skribenten Elisabeth Tamm (1880-1958) ett program för hur människan bör leva och agera för att åstadkomma ett hållbart samförstånd med jorden. Enligt Wägner och Tamm skulle jorden uppfattas som en levande organism, vilken inte kunde bemästras med brutala mekaniska metoder, utan endast genom mångsidighet och tålamod. Man menade att det gällde att uppnå fred med jorden och att de som var skickade att skapa denna fred var kvinnorna.

Les Jardins de la Grelinette is a micro-farm located in eastern Quebec, just north of the American border. Growing on just 1.5 acres, owners Jean-Martin and Maude-Helene feed more than two hundred families through their thriving CSA and seasonal market stands and supply their signature mesclun salad mix to dozens of local establishments. The secret of their success is the low-tech, high-yield production methods they've developed by focusing on growing better rather than growing bigger, making their operation more lucrative and viable in the process. The Market Gardener is a compendium of la Grelinette's proven horticultural techniques and innovative growing methods.This complete guide is packed with practical information on: * Setting-up a micro-farm by designing biologically intensive cropping systems, all with negligible capital outlay * Farming without a tractor and minimizing fossil fuel inputs through the use of the best hand tools, appropriate machinery, and minimum tillage practices * Growing mixed vegetables systematically with attention to weed and pest management, crop yields, harvest periods, and pricing approaches Inspired by the French intensive tradition of maraichage and by iconic American vegetable grower Eliot Coleman, author and farmer Jean-Martin shows by example how to start a market garden and make it both very productive and profitable. Making a living wage farming without big capital outlay or acreages may be closer than you think. Jean-Martin Fortier is a passionate advocate of strong local food systems and founder of Les Jardins de la Grelinette, an internationally recognized model for successful biointensive micro-farming.

"Vad var det som hände? Vad var det som gjorde att levande landskap kunde förenklas till den grad? Att grisar och kycklingar lever inomhus och så kort tid som möjligt, utfodras och transporteras som vore de utan liv? Och korna kommer sällan längre ut på bete - hur kunde det bli så här? Landskapets musik har tystnat, minnena försvunnit och markernas språk blivit alltmer entonigt och enahanda. Här och var i landet finns det ändå bönder som försöker samarbeta med jorden, djuren och växterna. Kanske är det i själva verket där framtidens jordbruk tar form." I den personliga reportageboken Levande landskap får vi möta bönder runt om i Sverige som bedriver ekologisk odling och försöker hitta ett sätt att leva med jord och djur som är både långsiktigt hållbart och etiskt försvarbart. Boken är rikt illustrerad med svartvita fotografier av författaren. Mats Ahlberg guidar oss genom jordbrukets villkor och vardag, samtalar med bönderna och reflekterar över var vi har hamnat när det gäller matproduktion och människans plats i landskapen. Levande landskap är en bok som bjuder in läsaren till större förståelse för såväl jordbruk som de ekologiska sammanhang vi alla är en del av. Mats Ahlberg är född i Nacka 1950. Han har gått på Finsta lantbruksskola och arbetat på biodynamiska jordbruk i Roslagen, Sörmland och Östergötland. I nitton år arbetade han på¨Saltå Kvarn i Järna, och i tolv år på Rosendals trädgård i Stockholm. Sedan femton år är han redaktör för tidskriften Balder och förläggare på Balders förlag. Han är bosatt i Strömbacka i norra Hälsingland.

Ny reviderad upplaga! De svenska naturskogarna fortsätter att avverkas, mångfalden minskar, en tredjedel av avverkningarna når inte upp till lagens miljökrav och lönsamheten i svenskt skogsbruk sjunker. Den här boken berättar lättbegripligt om ett hållbart och ekonomiskt lönsamt alternativ till dagens skogsbruk. Naturnära skogsbruk innebär att vi slutar röja, kalhugga och markbereda och låter skogen växa på ett mer naturligt sätt. Avverkning sker allteftersom träden blir mogna för skörd och utifrån efterfrågan på marknaden. Det ger mindre risk för stormskador och storskaliga angrepp av skadeinsekter. Ekologiska och sociala värden hålls intakta och ekonomin förbättras. Det finns alternativ till trädplantager, kalhyggen, utarmad mångfald, sönderkörd mark och sjunkande intäkter. Men det brådskar!

Permaculture is more than just the latest buzzword; it offers positive solutions for many of the environmental and social challenges confronting us. And nowhere are those remedies more needed and desired than in our cities. The Permaculture City provides a new way of thinking about urban living, with practical examples for creating abundant food, energy security, close-knit communities, local and meaningful livelihoods, and sustainable policies in our cities and towns. The same nature-based approach that works so beautifully for growing food—connecting the pieces of the landscape together in harmonious ways—applies perfectly to many of our other needs. Toby Hemenway, one of the leading practitioners and teachers of permaculture design, illuminates a new way forward through examples of edge-pushing innovations, along with a deeply holistic conceptual framework for our cities, towns, and suburbs. The Permaculture City begins in the garden but takes what we have learned there and applies it to a much broader range of human experience; we’re not just gardening plants but people, neighborhoods, and even cultures. Hemenway lays out how permaculture design can help towndwellers solve the challenges of meeting our needs for food, water, shelter, energy, community, and livelihood in sustainable, resilient ways. Readers will find new information on designing the urban home garden and strategies for gardening in community, rethinking our water and energy systems, learning the difference between a “job” and a “livelihood,” and the importance of placemaking and an empowered community. This important book documents the rise of a new sophistication, depth, and diversity in the approaches and thinking of permaculture designers and practitioners. Understanding nature can do more than improve how we grow, make, or consume things; it can also teach us how to cooperate, make decisions, and arrive at good solutions.

Överallt i världen satsas enorma belopp på så kallade förnyelsebara drivmedel som ska ersätta oljan. Frågan är om världens åkermark verkligen räcker för att framställa både mat och drivmedel? Nu väntar oljebrist med förödande konsekvenser. Ett allt varmare klimat på grund av koldioxidutsläppen, vattenbrist och fortsatt befolkningstillväxt i världen kommer att sätta fokus på världens matproduktion. Det spannmålsöverskott vi vant oss vid kan inom några år förvandlas till spannmålsbrist. Forskarna räknar med att det varmare klimatet i världen leder till allt lägre skördar. Vårt sätt att leva och livnära oss måste förändras. Många anser att vi måste tillbaka till ett kretsloppsjordbruk som är ekologiskt uthållit. Den prisade journalisten Gunnar Lindstedt berättar i Svart jord (2008) spännande och välskrivet utifrån personliga erfarenheter om de avgörande förändringar vi står inför.

En bok om hopp och lösningar
Under sin utveckling har människan gått från att leva av vad naturen ger, till att ta mer av naturen än vad den tål. Resultatet är underpresterande ekosystem och att mänskligheten står inför stora och farliga utmaningar.
Den här boken handlar om människorna som vill återställa ekosystemen och skapa välstånd genom att arbeta tillsammans med naturen, istället för att motarbeta den. Det börjar och slutar med jorden. Det handlar inte om lokalproducerat, ekologiskt, vegetariskt, klimatsmart eller svenskt. Det handlar om att vi människor måste börja bete oss som en nyttig art i den natur vi är en del av.
Vi tror på människans förmåga att vända en farlig utveckling. Vi tror på kärlek till naturen och allt levande. Vi vet att en del av lösningen ligger i att öka antalet betande djur. De bygger matjord som binder kol och vatten och skapar förutsättningar för mer och bättre mat. Detta är en bok om jord, hopp och kärlek.

'Hands-down the best book yet on the Green New Deal' - Jason HickelThe idea of a Green New Deal was launched into popular consciousness by US Congressperson Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez in 2018. It has become a watchword in the current era of global climate crisis. But what - and for whom - is the Green New Deal?In this concise and urgent book, Max Ajl provides an overview of the various mainstream Green New Deals. Critically engaging with their proponents, ideological underpinnings and limitations, he goes on to sketch out a radical alternative: a 'People's Green New Deal' committed to decommodification, working-class power, anti-imperialism and agro-ecology.Ajl diagnoses the roots of the current socio-ecological crisis as emerging from a world-system dominated by the logics of capitalism and imperialism. Resolving this crisis, he argues, requires nothing less than an infrastructural and agricultural transformation in the Global North, and the industrial convergence between North and South. As the climate crisis deepens and the literature on the subject grows, A People's Green New Deal contributes a distinctive perspective to the debate.

A guide to restoring the ancient relationship between farming and magic• Explores how to reconnect with nature and use practical, nature-based magic for gardening and farming, fertility, and abundance• Examines Moon work, plant magic, forest deities, Earth energies, weather magic, the cosmology of ritual, and how to work with land spirits• Discusses folk magic traditions of North America and Western Europe, including the grimoire tradition, Western esotericism, alchemy, Kabbalah, and shamanism as well as Taoist principles and ReikiMagic and farming, in the minds of ancient people, were not separate realms of life, but both were woven inextricably into the way people lived. Through libations, prayers, hymns, dances, sacrifices, and rituals, ancient farmers connected to the sacred forces, the gods, nature spirits, and ancestors to make the crops grow, keep the herds healthy, the weather favorable, and release energies of fertility. These rural farmer priests and priestesses of the ancient past are the spiritual ancestors of today’s cunning farmers.This book explores folk magic traditions of North America and Western Europe, including the grimoire tradition and the practices of witches and cunning folk for increased fertility. Todd draws on Western esotericism, Taoist principles, alchemy, Kabbalah, Reiki, and shamanism to show how to use practical, nature-based magic, just like our ancestors, for more abundant gardening and farming. He shows how to work with land spirits, including meeting the place spirit of your land—the genius loci. He also explores working with Earth and Moon energies, plant magic and forest deities, and ritual. Learn how to deepen your connection to elemental and celestial forces and explore the idea of rewilding the imagination to enhance your relationship with nature and the spirits that call it home.This book is not just a guide to farming, but to forging a relationship with the living land. It shows that we are surrounded by spiritual powers and, with their help, we can re-enchant and reconnect with the land that gives us life.

I den lilla medeltida byn Chianni i Toscana har olivodlingarna försörjt invånarna i flera hundra år. Varje höst reser markbiologen Håkan Wallander och hans vänner dit för att plocka oliver och sköta om de vackra träden.I Toscanas vänliga landskap kan de experimentera med olika odlingsmetoder i olivlunden. Lokala experter lär dem hur träden traditionellt ska beskäras och gödslas, men som jordforskare kan Håkan Wallander också införa modern kunskap om hur den biologiska mångfalden kan förstärkas och odlingarna göras mer klimatsmarta.
Under olivträdet ger en djupare förståelse för hur den jord vi lever av behöver omhändertas för att fortsätta försörja oss på ett långsiktigt hållbart sätt. Om jorden ska bli en bättre plats att leva på måste fler av oss börja tänka som trädgårdsmästare.
"Ett ekologiskt tänk genomsyrar boken och de lärda utläggningarna varvas med och flätas in i roliga och tänkvärda personliga betraktelser, experiment och bekantskaper med andra forskare och färgstarka italienare i branschen."BTJ

A practical, systems-based approach for a more sustainable farming operation"Ben Hartman has revolutionized his methods, cut down his work hours dramatically, and shrunk the size of his farm, all while making a better income."—Civil EatsTo many people today, using the words “factory” and “farm” in the same sentence is nothing short of sacrilege. In many cases, though, the same sound business practices apply whether you are producing cars or carrots. Author Ben Hartman and other young farmers are increasingly finding that incorporating the best new ideas from business into their farming can drastically cut their wastes and increase their profits, making their farms more environmentally and economically sustainable. By explaining the lean system for identifying and eliminating waste and introducing efficiency in every aspect of the farm operation, The Lean Farm makes the case that small-scale farming can be an attractive career option for young people who are interested in growing food for their community.Working smarter, not harder, also prevents the kind of burnout that start-up farmers often encounter in the face of long, hard, backbreaking labor. Lean principles grew out of the Japanese automotive industry, but they are now being followed on progressive farms around the world. Using examples from his own family’s one-acre community-supported farm in Indiana, Hartman clearly instructs other small farmers in how to incorporate lean practices in each step of their production chain, from starting a farm and harvesting crops to training employees and selling goods.Inside The Lean Farm you'll discover how to apply lean practices like:Every Tool In Its PlaceTen Types of Farm WasteEstablish Pull, Don't PushLimits of LeanLean for More Profitand much more! While the intended audience for this book is small-scale farmers who are part of the growing local food movement, Hartman’s prescriptions for high-value, low-cost production apply to farms and businesses of almost any size or scale that hope to harness the power of lean in their production processes.Ben Hartman was named a "Grist 50! Fixer""The Lean Farm should be dissected, digested, and discussed—then applied—on every single farm: big or small, wholesale or retail, livestock or produce. It would make all farms more profitable, productive, and pleasurable.”—Joel Salatin, owner of Polyface Farm

With extensive research, real-world examples, and hands-on applications, this go-to guide offers a comprehensive look at the principles and practices of biochar—and all of its world-changing uses.Like many human discoveries, biochar has likely been invented, lost, and reinvented multiple times. It can be found in the rich terra preta soils of the Amazon and in the ancient “dark earths” dotting Africa, Asia, and Europe. However, biochar isn’t just an archeological curiosity. In The Biochar Handbook, author Kelpie Wilson argues that the simple process of burning organic material in a low-oxygen, low-emission environment could be one of the most powerful tools we have to restore degraded soils and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.In accessible and authoritative prose, Wilson demonstrates that biochar is a low-tech but effective means of reducing wildfire risks, restoring soil carbon, managing manure, weaning farms off of toxic inputs, and producing the best compost ever made.In this book, you’ll also find:A pocket history of biocharStep-by-step instructions on making biochar for yourselfApplications for soil water retention, pest deterrence, compost enhancement, and moreInspiring examples of ecosystem restoration and improved forest managementLow-cost recipes, including Cultured Biochar and Sustainable Potting Soil Wilson makes a compelling case that biochar is both simple to make and a potent solution to a host of knotty problems, both global and close to home. Whether you’re a gardener, homesteader, rancher, commercial farmer, permaculturalist, or forest manager, this book will show you how to put biochar to work, making you and your community more resilient as a result.

“Ben Hartman is a true innovator for the small farm.”—Curtis Stone, author of The Urban FarmerIt’s time to think big about small farms. Award-winning author and “green leader” (Grist) Ben Hartman shares practical how-to tips, personal stories, and surprising examples of cutting-edge farmers and innovators around the world to show us how.In the early 1970s, US Agriculture Secretary Earl Butz infamously commanded farmers to “get big or get out.” In The Lean Micro Farm, author Ben Hartman rejects that disastrous suggestion and instead takes up the charge of the late agrarian thinker Gene Logsdon: “Get small and stay in.”Taking inspiration from the groundbreaking ideas of E. F. Schumacher and Mahatma Gandhi, The Lean Micro Farm shows how small, hyperlocal farms can be both ecologically and economically superior to industrial-scale operations geared toward export and commodity markets.The Lean Micro Farm details the author’s remarkable journey to downsize his farm from one acre to a third of an acre in an effort to prioritize family and community over work, all without taking a pay cut. In addition, Hartman profiles six innovative farmers from across the globe who embody this “get small” mindset. These pioneering farmers show all of us a path toward resilience in the face of supply chain disruption, globalization, and climate change. They model a gentler, more ecological approach to farming that produces less waste and uses less plastic, petroleum, and fertilizer.Like his previous two books, The Lean Farm and The Lean Farm Guide to Growing Vegetables, Hartman’s The Lean Micro Farm doesn’t just explain why smaller is better, it shows readers exactly how it can be done with step-by-step guides on how to turn a profit from a tiny, but productive, parcel of farmland. Readers will find not just philosophical justifications for a minimalist approach to agriculture but also actionable information for starting your own profitable micro farm, including:A description of the “deep mulch” method for building fertilityInstructions on two-step bed flipping to increase production on a small footprintA guide for choosing essential tools and technologies “with a human face”An easy-to-follow process for making your micro farm lean and efficientA detailed plan for selling $20,000 worth of produce from your backyard It’s time, Hartman makes clear, to pivot to a new kind of farming—one that builds upon ancestral knowledge, nourishes communities, and puts human joy, not technology, at its center.“Hartman has revolutionized his methods, cut down his work hours dramatically, and shrunk the size of his farm, all while making a better income.”—Civil Eats

VI HAR INVAGGATS i föreställningen att det är vi konsumenter som styr vilken mat vi äter och att vi genom våra val kan påverka hur jordbruket bedrivs. Men i själva verket är det tvärtom våra matvanor och val formas av ett allt mer industriellt jordbruk, av livsmedelsindustrin, handelskedjorna och staten. När vi väljer bland tjugo tusen färggranna matförpackningar på hyllorna har de flesta val redan gjorts. På grund av den ökande konkurrensen och kommersialiseringen av hela jordbruksprocessen har den mångsidiga produktionen, som tidigare var det normala, ersatts av en industriell modell som orsakar stora miljöproblem och sociala problem, både i Sverige och globalt. Jordbrukets viktiga roll i att sköta om stora delar av jordens ekosystem missköts i den rådande modellen och det superrationaliserade jordbruket bidrar mycket lite till landsbygdens utveckling. Vad vi äter och hur vi äter formas också alltmer efter samma modell. Vägen framåt, menar Gunnar Rundgren, är ett ökat lokalt deltagande i matproduktionen, ekologisk läskunnighet och ett nytt samhällskontrakt för jordbruket.

Agroforestry is a land use system that allows for the concurrent production of trees and agricultural crops and/or animals from the same piece of land. It has a rich history of development and has been practised in some parts of the world for more than 6,000 years. In 1997, CABI published the seminal book on this subject, Temperate Agroforestry Systems, which was a break from the norm as almost all agroforestry texts up to that date were only relevant to tropical areas. The book explored the development of temperate agroforestry and agroforestry systems, concentrating on those areas within temperate zones where the greatest advances, adoptions and modifications had taken place up to that time: North and South America, China, Australia, New Zealand and Europe. This second fully-updated and expanded edition includes additional chapters on India and Chile and, as a result of ongoing advances in the field, separate chapters on the US, Canada, the UK and continental Europe. Today's challenges of climate change, population growth and food security, in concert with the ongoing global requirement for the energy and water needed for a resilient agricultural paradigm, can be met through the wide-scale adoption of agroforestry practices, in both tropical regions and temperate zones. The 2nd edition ofTemperate Agroforestry Systems brings together many examples of temperate agroforestry and will make valuable reading for all those working in this area as researchers, practitioners and policy makers. The book is also of importance to students and teachers of agriculture, ecology, environmental studies and forestry in temperate regions.

In this comprehensive guide, Farmer Jesse Frost shares all he has learned through experience and experimentation with no-till practices on his home farm and from interviews and visits with highly successful market gardeners in his role as host of The No-Till Market Garden Podcast. The Living Soil Handbook is centred around the three basic principles of no-dig market gardening:Disturb the soil as little as possibleKeep it covered as much as possibleKeep it planted as much as possible.Farmer Jesse then guides readers in applying those principles to their own garden environment, with their own materials, to meet their own goals.Beginning with an exploration of the importance of photosynthesis to living soil, Jesse provides in-depth information on:Turning over bedsUsing compost and mulchPath managementIncorporating biology, maintaining fertilityCover croppingDiversifying plantings through intercroppingProduction methods for seven major cropsThroughout, the book emphasises practical information on all the best tools and practices for growers who want to build their livelihood around maximising soil health.Farmer Jesse does not believe that growers should anguish over what does and does not qualify as “no-dig.” If you are using a tool to promote soil life and biology, that’s the goal. The Living Soil Handbook blends the idea of meeting the soil’s needs with the realities of making a living as a professional grower, no matter where you live.

Sepp Holzer farms steep mountainsides in Austria, 1,500 metres above sea level. His farm is an intricate network of terraces, raised beds, ponds, waterways and tracks, well covered with productive fruit trees and other vegetation, with the farmhouse neatly nestling amongst them. This is in dramatic contrast to his neighbours spruce monocultures. In this book, Sepp shares the skill and knowledge acquired over his lifetime. He covers every aspect of his farming methods, not just how to create a holistic system on the farm itself, but how to make a living from it. He writes about everything from the overall concepts, down to the practical details. Sepp offers a wealth of information for the gardener, smallholder or alternative farmer, yet the books greatest value is the attitude it teaches, he reveals the thinking processes based on principles found in nature that create his successful systems. These can be applied by anyone anywhere, and Sepp is increasingly recognised as a leading figure in agriculture.
