The Edible Ecosystem Solution: Growing Biodiversity in Your Backyard and Beyond

Humans have always thrived in rich, diverse, edible ecosystems. Yet most cities and suburbs are blanketed by lawns, ornamentals, and a lack of biodiversity, let alone anything edible. It is within these sterile landscapes that seeds of an edible ecosystem lie. The Edible Ecosystem Solution is a comprehensive, practical guidebook that looks at underutilized spaces to reveal the many opportunities for landscape transformation that are both far-reaching and immediately enjoyable. Within these pages, you'll find hundreds of full-color infographics, illustrations, and photographs that clearly outline the principles and concepts of edible landscape design and benefits; how to transition a garden plot, no matter the size, into a place of edible abundance and an edible biodiversity hot spot; how to choose appropriate plants for insects, wildlife, and food production; and so much more!
