Highly rated and packed with expert insights and visuals, it empowers modern farmers to maximize productivity and ecological harmony. ## Description A twenty-first-century manual for managing nature’s resources, this groundbreaking book brings “system farming” and permaculture to a whole new level. In The Bio-Integrated Farm , author Shawn Jadrnicek presents new insights into permaculture, moving beyond the philosophical foundation to practical advanced designs based on a functional analysis. Holding his designs to a higher standard, Jadrnicek’s components serve at least seven functions (classical permaculture theory only seeks at least two functions). With every additional function a component performs, the design becomes more advanced and saves more energy. A bio-integrated greenhouse, for example, doesn’t just extend the season for growing vegetables; it also serves as a rainwater collector, a pond site, an aquaponics system, and a heat generator. Jadrnicek’s prevalent theme is using water to do the work. Although applicable in many climates, his designs are particularly important for areas coping with water scarcity. Jadrnicek focuses on his experience as farm manager at the Clemson University Student Organic Farm and at his residence in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains. These locations lie at the cooler northern edge of a humid subtropical climate that extends west to the middle of Texas and north along the coast to New Jersey. He has created permaculture patterns ranging from raising transplants and field design to freshwater prawn production and composting. These patterns have simplified the operation of the 125-share CSA farm while reducing reliance on outside resources. In less time than it takes to mow his two-acre homestead, Jadrnicek is building a you-pick fruit farm using permaculture patterns. His landscape requires only the labor of harvesting, and the only outside input he buys is a small amount of chicken feed. By carefully engaging the free forces of nature—water, wind, sunlight, convection, gravity, and decomposition—Jadrnicek creates sustenance without maintenance and transforms waste into valuable farm resources. The Bio-Integrated Farm offers in-depth information about designing and building a wide range of bio-integrated projects including reflecting ponds, water-storage ponds, multipurpose basins, greenhouses, compost heat extraction, pastured chicken systems, aquaculture, hydroponics, hydronic heating, water filtration and aeration, cover cropping, and innovative rainwater-harvesting systems that supply water for drip irrigation and flushing toilets. “[Jadrnicek's] visions are addictive, teaching you not just to think outside the box by harmonizing natural systems but to act outside the box to create inexpensive and highly functional growing environments that are much more profitable and efficient than traditional growing systems.”—Tradd Cotter, author of Organic Mushroom Farming and Mycoremediation Review: Don't think he missed a thing... - Excellent book, excellent format, excellent pics. I'd have to read it a second and third time just to absorb it all, and read it a fourth and fifth time to figure out if he missed anything. What an EXCELLENT reference - especially for when you think you've done everything and run out of ideas on what else you could do to squeeze more productivity out of your Bio-Integrated Farm. Really well thought out. Review: Best Permaculture Book Yet! - Just what I was looking for. My favorite permaculture book. This was the most comprehensive of any I have seen, but each seem to add to the other. I wish I had this information years ago. I don't know how you could go wrong with it. ## Features - Ships from Vermont ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #473,831 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #16 in Water Gardens & Ponds #78 in Greenhouses (Books) #250 in Sustainable Agriculture (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 186 Reviews | ## Images ![The Bio-Integrated Farm: A Revolutionary Permaculture-Based System Using Greenhouses, Ponds, Compost Piles, Aquaponics, Chickens, and More - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91cqq1UQrtL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Don't think he missed a thing... *by S***E on May 12, 2019* Excellent book, excellent format, excellent pics.
