Encyclopedia of subsistence farming solutions : SAKpedia, 2018 Edition
Abstract
This encyclopedia for subsistence farming techniques is a “living” online, free, open-access book and searchable database that will be continuously updated and expanded. It serves as an in-depth resource for low-cost solutions to farming problems world wide. For instance, the availability of cheap fertilizers through collection and redistribution of human urine and animal manure can become a solution to restoring crop fertility through composting. Hundreds of other how-to’s of low cost applications for land and soil health, irrigation, seedling generation, crop pests, breeding, and simple post harvest systems are included.
