Saving farmland : the fight for real food

Chambers, Nathalie (author.). Roberts, Robin Alys, (author.). Wooding, Sophie, (author.).

Summary: Nathalie Chambers and her husband Dave introduce readers to stories of lost farmland; of bees saving lives; of sustainability, ecosystems and activism; lessons for overcoming obstacles, choosing models, identifying vital farmland, building community, and fundraising; and successful examples of regained farmland, international land trusts and heroes for ongoing inspiration. Filled with farming stories from the past and present and brimming with fascinating facts, this is a practical treatise to help us all support local farming and sustainable land development and indulge in good eating - forever. The Chambers live and work on Madrona Farm, Vancouver Island, where they grow more than a hundred varieties of produce year-round for over 4,000 regular customers.
