Smallholdings - Two Acres And Freedom

by Baker, J
No customer reviews yet ISBN 9781445511757 Read Books

This early work is a fascinating read for any small-holding enthusiast or historian of small-scale farming, which contains a wealth of information that is still useful and practical today. Illustrated with dozens of full page photographs. Contents Include: Peace and Plenty; Specialisation or No?; Markets and Marketing; Two Acres of Salads; Two Acres of Apples; Two Acres of Flowers; Rabbits for Flesh and Fur; Home Consumption; Buildings, Machinery and Tools; A Little About Many Things; Sources to Look to For Information; and Budgets. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.

Plants for Arid Lands: Proceedings of the Kew International Conference on Economic Plants for Arid L
Economic plants have been defined by SEPASAT as those plants that are utilised either directly or indirectly for the benefit of Man. Indirect usage includes the needs of Man's livestock and the maintenance of the environment&#x3b; the benefits may be domestic, commercial or aesthetic. Economic plants constitute a large and so far uncalculated percentage of the quarter of a million higher plants in the World today. However, it has been calculated that 10% (25 000) of these species are now on the verge of extinction and extinction means that a genetic resource that could be of benefit to Man will be lost for ever. Furthermore, for every species lost an estimated 10-30 other dependent organisms are also doomed. Fewer than 1 per cent of the World's plants have been sufficiently well studied for a true evaluation of the potential floral wealth awaiting discovery, not only in the rain forests, which man is now actively destroying at a rate of 20 ha a minute, but also in the very much neglected dry areas of the World.
