Ecological Farming Handbook

Most modern farming relies on external inputs to replace functions that a healthy ecosystem can perform for free. When we dismantle these natural partnerships, our costs go up and the resilience of our production systems goes down. This Handbook shows you how to repair these broken systems so you can learn how to:

ü  Lower your production costs: Growing food with functioning ecosystems you'll save on external inputs, labour, equipment and machinery.

ü  Save time: Ecosystems to do more of the work for you.

ü  Benefit from living soil: Rely more on your free biological workforce rather than compost, minerals, and other inputs.

ü  Control pests with less sprays: With healthier crops less susceptible and fewer pests.

ü  Improve your yields: Grow hardier crops that are less vulnerable heat domes, flooding rains and other extreme weather.

The Eco-logical Farming Handbook, by Dr. Wendy Seabrook is over 100 pages packed full of clear diagrams, success stories, and links to hands-on videos showing how farmers apply the principles.

This practical and science-based Handbook is organised into six sections:

1.      Fix Your Nutrient Cycle: We begin beneath your feet. Here, you will learn to re-enlist your soil’s biological workforce: the true experts at feeding your crops. 

2.      Maximise Solar Energy Capture and Flow: Discover how to energize your production systems, capturing extra light to fuel more robust growth. 

3.      Improve Your Water Cycle: Learn how to transform your soil into a living sponge that captures rainfall and stores it in the ground, making your farm resilient to drought. 

4.      Grow from Your Strengths: Learn to use crops naturally adapted to your unique environment, giving you an immediate advantage in building a productive system. 

5.      Build Connections: Learn how to maximize key symbiotic relationships, making food production more efficient.

6.      Co-Create with Succession: Explore ways to mimic how Nature naturally develops more self-sustaining, reliable, and productive food systems.

Whether you are growing arable crops, running livestock or a horticultural business, these eco-logical principles work in any climate!
