Book excerpt: Learn how to fill forests with food by viewing agriculture from a remarkably different perspective: that a healthy forest can be maintained while growing a wide range of food, medicinal, and other nontimber products. The practices of forestry and farming are often seen as mutually exclusive, because in the modern world, agriculture involves open fields, straight rows, and machinery to grow crops, while forests are reserved primarily for timber and firewood harvesting. In Farming the Woods, authors Ken Mudge and Steve Gabriel demonstrate that it doesn’t have to be an either-or scenario, but a complementary one; forest farms can be most productive in places where the plow is not: on steep slopes and in shallow soils. Forest farming is an invaluable practice to integrate into any farm or homestead, especially as the need for unique value-added products and supplemental income becomes increasingly important for farmers. Many of the daily indulgences we take for granted, such as coffee, chocolate, and many tropical fruits, all originate in forest ecosystems. But few know that such abundance is also available in the cool temperate forests of North America. Farming the Woods covers in detail how to cultivate, harvest, and market high-value nontimber forest crops such as American ginseng, shiitake mushrooms, ramps (wild leeks), maple syrup, fruit and nut trees, ornamentals, and more. Along with profiles of forest farmers from around the country, readers are also provided comprehensive information on: • historical perspectives of forest farming; • mimicking the forest in a changing climate; • cultivation of medicinal crops; • cultivation of food crops; • creating a forest nursery; • harvesting and utilizing wood products; • the role of animals in the forest farm; and, • how to design your forest farm and manage it once it’s established. Farming the Woods is an essential book for farmers and gardeners who have access to an established woodland, are looking for productive ways to manage it, and are interested in incorporating aspects of agroforestry, permaculture, forest gardening, and sustainable woodlot management into the concept of a whole-farm organism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Productive Farming This book is intended to suit the needs of rural schools of all kinds, and graded village and city schools chiefly below high-school rank. It is believed that many high-schools wanting a less advanced course in agriculture than is offered in more difficult books will find this text helpful. It is hoped that farmers and others pursuing a short course, a reading-circle course, a correspondence course, or a home-reading course will find this volume of value. Such persons should read the exercises but probably omit the trial of some of them. In the preparation of this book the writer has been aided very materially by a number of people. The ever-present memory of the boys and girls with whom the writer has associated as a schoolmate or as teacher in the rural schools and graded schools has been an inspiration and help in preparing every lesson to be studied by other such boys and girls. The many teachers of both rural and graded schools who have criticized the lessons as they have been presented by the writer have spurred him on to do his best in the making of this book. It is to such teachers and such boys and girls that this book should be dedicated, for they have been in the writer's mind every moment of the time. Special acknowledgment is due to a number of persons who have helped in the preparation of the whole book or of special chapters. Professor Dick J. Crosby, Specialist in Agricultural Education of the United States Department of Agriculture, has read the first manuscript of the whole book and parts of the second draft. His suggestions and help have been so valuable that his name should go on the title page if he would allow it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is written primarily for agricultural economists doing research on productivity. It includes discussions of the theoretical underpinnings of productivity measurement as well as the many practical considerations that go into translating this theory into actual measures of aggregated outputs and inputs. The unifying concept of agricultural productivity used across the chapters of this volume is aggregate total factor productivity (TFP) of the sector. The volume also contains detailed analysis of the underlying causes of agricultural productivity growth. Part I (chapters 2-6) examines agricultural productivity in high-income and transition countries. Part II (chapters 7-11) examines agricultural productivity growth and its driving forces in five important agricultural producers in Asia and Latin America. Part III (chapters 12-14) focuses on measuring and identifying constraints to agricultural productivity growth in sub-Saharan Africa. Part IV (chapters 15-16) gives a global perspective on agricultural productivity.
