In this Deep Roots Radio interview, John Jeavons describes how biointensive gardening and farming is being used to increase yields, restore soils at unprecedented rates, cut water consumption by two-thirds and yield net income.
Jeavons in author of “How to Grow More Vegetables* on less land than you can imagine”. Now in its eighth printing and with over 500,000 sold, the principles described are at work in 151 countries worldwide.
Why so popular? Because Jeavon’s approach – GROW BIOINTENSIVE Sustainable Mini-Farming – addresses real needs with a real solution: more food for a growing population, soils restored so that they can grow more food, soil composition improved to hold and store water much more efficiently, ways to build compost up to 60X faster than nature, and the ability to earn a net income that’ll support a family.
I hope you enjoy – and will share – this podcast.
