EDIBLE ECOSYSTEM SOLUTION : GROWING BIODIVERSITY IN YOUR BACKYARD AND BEYOND

ZACH LOEKS

This new comprehensive guidebook by award inning educator, author and grower, Zach Loeks, draws attention to the underutilized spaces that abound in our communities. Early in the book the importance of global biodiversity and ecosystems (especially the edible aspect) are established. By degree Zach zooms in on the local urban neighbourhood, highlighting the possibilities and benefits. He then covers the practical points of site selection (starting small) choosing appropriate plants, guild and bed design and more. The 'Edible Ecosystem Solution' is for everyone with access to a bit of yard, a desire for food security, biodiversity, and a beautiful, resilient community.
