In this how-to guide, ecologist and forest farmer Steve Gabriel explores the philosophy and techniques behind silvopasture - the integration of trees, animals, and forages in a whole-system approach that creates a number of benefits for livestock, farmers, and the environment. This system not only provides a sustainable farm income, but also holds the key to restoring land, building soil carbon, and creating climate resilience.--COVER.

Around the globe most people get their calories from "annual" agriculture - plants that grow fast for one season, produce lots of seeds, then die. Every single human society that has relied on annual crops for staple foods has collapsed. Restoration Agriculture explains how we can have all of the benefits of natural, perennial ecosystems and create agricultural systems that imitate nature in form and function while still providing for our food, building, fuel and many other needs - in your own backyard, farm or ranch. This book, based on real-world practices, presents an alternative to the agriculture system of eradication and offers exciting hope for our future.

This title aims to provide introductory and concluding surveys of the subject of farms, trees and farmers. Two central parts explore trends in farmer tree-growing and the factors which influence decision-making. Eight case studies cover, among other topics, the need for tree products, market access, the allocation of land and labour, and exposure to risk. In showing why farmers decide to grow or not grow trees, it seeks to increase the reader's knowledge about farming systems and to provide a guide to encouraging farm forestry throughout the world.

Before this handbook there were only a few technical or scientific articles, made during the previous 10 years. This new book contains, in a single logical path, all the activities necessary to design the naturalistic Permanent Polycyclic Tree farms. Two chapters touch upon establishment and management of wood plantation, while three chapters outline the environmental and economic impacts of naturalistic Permanent Polycyclic Tree farms. The handbook, edited by AALSEA and Compagnia delle Foreste within the project LIFE + InBioWood (LIFE12 ENV/IT/000153), is now available in a digital version for free download from the website www.inbiowood.eu. This book, called “Design, implementation and management of naturalistic Permanent Polycyclic Tree farms”, describes a "new way" to produce wood outside forest, through some innovative naturalistic and agronomic criteria developed to overcome some of the main limitations of traditional tree farms.
