Why read it?

1 author picked Restoration Agriculture as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

The uniquely special flavor of this gem-packed book that caught my attention and kept me riveted from chapter to chapter is the focus on sustainable perennial food crops. Plant it once and forget it. The productivity continues to generate staple foods, building materials, fuel, and useful oils, all while improving the quality of the environment.

I find this very compelling for my conclusion that climate change can be reversed over time. 

From Louis' list on sustainable permaculture design.
