Evento: ECHO International Agriculture Conference 2018 (14/11/2018)
Grow a small poly-culture garden that addresses both nutritional and ecological shortcomings of our food systems. Focusing on some of the most nutritious of the more than 1000 species of plants with edible leaves can maximize the value of the garden to improve your family’s health. Supporting a wide diversity of plant and animal life above and below the soil offers many environmental and economic advantages.
