She actually makes it sound doable! She begins by identifying why you might want to grow a sustainable diet, then walks through the process of garden planning with garden maps; choosing crops, and more. There are charts and worksheets, as well as photos and diagrams.<\/p>\n<p>As a permaculture educator, Cindy&#8217;s focus goes beyond a few tomatoes, peppers, and squash. She provides in-depth, science- and experience-based instructions for creating a permaculture landscape, including cover crops, companion planting, rotations, and choosing and using seeds. As if that weren&#8217;t enough, she writes about how to include animals, preserve the food you grow, and build sheds, fences, chicken houses, and many of the other things you&#8217;ll need on the way home. Endnotes and an excellent biography round out this outstanding resource.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/gp\/product\/B00HK47P4I\/ref=as_li_ss_il?ie=UTF8&amp;camp=1789&amp;creative=390957&amp;creativeASIN=B00HK47P4I&amp;linkCode=as2&amp;tag=everydayeducatio\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"border: 0px; margin-left: 8px; margin-right: 8px;\" src=\"http:\/\/ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/widgets\/q?_encoding=UTF8&amp;ASIN=B00HK47P4I&amp;Format=_SL110_&amp;ID=AsinImage&amp;MarketPlace=US&amp;ServiceVersion=20070822&amp;WS=1&amp;tag=everydayeducatio\" alt=\"Grow a Sustainable Diet: Planning and Growing to Feed Ourselves and the Earth by Cindy Conner\" width=\"89\" height=\"110\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: none !important; margin: 0px !important;\" src=\"http:\/\/ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com\/e\/ir?t=everydayeducatio&amp;l=as2&amp;o=1&amp;a=B00HK47P4I\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" border=\"0\" \/>For me, the best part of <strong><em>Grow a Sustainable Diet<\/em><\/strong> is the fact that Cindy shows us what it looks like around the homestead. She doesn&#8217;t just talk about permaculture; she lives it, and that experience shows. I enjoyed reading about things she&#8217;s tried that didn&#8217;t work, as well as the things that work. It&#8217;s a refreshing change from the hyper-optimism of many garden books, and a look at how you can learn to live differently, right where you are. I recommend it.<\/p>\n<p>Cindy Conner&#8217;s blog can be found at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.homeplaceearth.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Homeplace Earth<\/a>\u00a0(click the link in the top navigation bar).
