The Farmers' Handbook Volume One – Inside the House

£0.00

Volume One of The Farmers' Handbook concentrates on permaculture 'Zone 0' – the closest zone to human habitation, inside our homes. It covers key permaculture aspects of diet and nutrition, food hygiene (crucial to the tropical environments for which the eBook was first written), how to make a more efficient stove and how to build a haybox cooker in order to cook food in a more energy-efficient way.



The Farmers' Handbook is a free permaculture eBook created by Chris Evans (UK) and Jakob Jespersen (Denmark), who have spent considerable time in Nepal, helping to develop locally appropriate methods and technologies that can help the people of Nepal live better lives, and sustainably so.

Although the information is specifically tailored for Himalayan conditions, almost everyone will find some useful ideas and information in this comprehensive work. The whole handbook is 50 chapters in five volumes – a total of 792 pages, including 170 pages of colour photos and illustrations.

Aside from gleaning valuable ideas for your own region, Chris and Jakob produced this free eBook in the hope it will inspire others to do likewise for their own region and climate zone. This is the kind of information sharing that will move humanity onto a sustainable platform of peace and low carbon prosperity.
