Description
Climate change is accelerating, biodiversity is collapsing, our model of civilization is faltering... Isn't it time to invent together a new way of inhabiting the Earth, by letting ourselves be inspired by nature?
At the Bec Hellouin Organic Farm, Perrine and Charles Hervé-Gruyer and their team seek to provide for the needs of humans while taking care of all forms of life. They practice ecoculture, a new form of agriculture that imitates natural ecosystems. Scientific research has validated the results of this approach which allows, thanks to simple and effective manual tools, to produce vegetables and fruits of excellent taste and nutritional quality, with yields which can be ten times higher, per unit. surface area, to the yields of motorized organic agriculture. This generous production is accompanied by a rapid increase in soil fertility. A microfarm designed using the Bec Hellouin approach constitutes a carbon sink and an oasis of biodiversity.
More than any other work to date, this practical manual covers a wide range of subjects: growing vegetables and fruits, forest gardens, small livestock farming, gardening cereals, tools, designing a microfarm in all its aspects... It addressed to all those, amateurs or professionals, who wish to create a natural and productive farm or garden. It will guide the first steps of beginners and support experienced professionals for years.
This exceptional work offers an art of living in harmony with the earth. It allows everyone to make a concrete commitment to the world of tomorrow.
La Bec Hellouin organic farm, in Normandy, has become a international reference in terms of permaculture and ecoculture!
