Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle.

Most gardeners realize that plants need to be fed but know little or nothing about the nature of the nutrients and the mechanisms involved. In his trademark down-to-earth, style, Lowenfels explains the role of both macronutrients and micronutrients and shows gardeners how to provide these essentials through organic, easy-to-follow techniques. Along the way, Lowenfels gives the reader easy-to-grasp lessons in the biology, chemistry, and botany needed to understand how nutrients get into the plant and what they do once they’re inside.

Download or read book Gardening for Health and Nutrition written by John Philbrick and published by SteinerBooks. This book was released on 1995-06 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Includes John Scotus Eriugena's "Homily on the Prologue to the Gospel of St. John" John Scotus Eriugena was born and raised in Ireland during the early ninth century. Neither monk nor priest but a "holy sage," he carried to France the flower of Celtic Christianity. His homily, The Voice of the Eagle, is a jewel of lyrical mysticism, theology, and cosmology, containing the essence of Celtic Christian wisdom. He meditates on the meaning and purpose of creation as revealed by the Word made flesh, distilling into twenty-three short chapters a uniquely Celtic, non-dualistic fusion of Christianity, Platonism, and ancient Irish wisdom. Christopher Bamford's "Reflections" make up the second half of this book, unfolding some of the life-giving meaning implicit in Eriugena's luminous sentences. Inspired both by a personal search for a living Christianity and by a sense of the continuity of Western culture, these "Reflections" offer a contemporary, meditative encounter with the Word, or Logos, as mediated by both St. John's Prologue and Eriugena's Celtic homily. This favorite of Celtic Christianity, unavailable for several years, has been revised and includes a new foreword by Thomas Moore, author of Care of the Soul.

Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • The former First Lady, author of Becoming, and producer and star of Waffles + Mochi tells the inspirational story of the White House Kitchen Garden and how gardens can transform our lives and the health of our communities. Early in her tenure as First Lady, despite being a novice gardener, Michelle Obama planted a kitchen garden on the White House’s South Lawn. To her delight, she watched as fresh vegetables, fruit, and herbs sprouted from the ground. Soon the White House Kitchen Garden inspired a new conversation all across the country about the food we feed our families and the impact it has on the nutrition and well-being of our children. In American Grown, Mrs. Obama invites you inside the White House Kitchen Garden, from the first planting to the satisfaction of the seasonal harvest. She reveals her early worries and struggles—would the new plants even grow?—and her joy as lettuce, corn, tomatoes, collards and kale, sweet potatoes and rhubarb flourished in the freshly tilled soil. She shares the stories of other gardens that have moved and inspired her on her journey across the nation. And she offers what she learned about planting your own backyard, school, or community garden. American Grown features: • a behind-the-scenes look at every season of the garden’s growth • unique recipes created by White House chefs • striking original photographs that bring the White House garden to life • a fascinating history of community gardens in the United States From a modern-day vegetable truck that brings fresh produce to underserved communities in Chicago, to Houston office workers who make the sidewalk bloom, to a New York City school that created a scented garden for the visually impaired, to a garden in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, that devotes its entire harvest to those less fortunate, American Grown isn’t just the story of a single garden. It’s a celebration of the bounty of our nation and a reminder of what we can all grow together.

Book excerpt: This book critically assesses the role of agrobiodiversity in school gardens and its contribution to diversifying diets, promoting healthy eating habits and improving nutrition among schoolchildren as well as other benefits relating to climate change adaptation, ecoliteracy and greening school spaces. Many schoolchildren suffer from various forms of malnutrition and it is important to address their nutritional status given the effects it has on their health, cognition, and subsequently their educational achievement. Schools are recognized as excellent platforms for promoting lifelong healthy eating and improving long-term, sustainable nutrition security required for optimum educational outcomes. This book reveals the multiple benefits of school gardens for improving nutrition and education for children and their families. It examines issues such as school feeding, community food production, school gardening, nutritional education and the promotion of agrobiodiversity, and draws on international case studies, from both developed and developing nations, to provide a comprehensive global assessment. This book will be essential reading for those interested in promoting agrobiodiversity, sustainable nutrition and healthy eating habits in schools and public institutions more generally. It identifies recurring and emerging issues, establishes best practices, identifies key criteria for success and advises on strategies for scaling up and scaling out elements to improve the uptake of school gardens.

Download or read book Beyond Organic written by Jana Bogs and published by . This book was released on 2014-03-03 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our foods have lost up to 70% of some nutrients in the last 70 years. Even organic foods have little more nutrient density than those conventionally grown. This loss of nutrition may explain our increasing health concerns. Whatever your goals and dreams in life, all will be more easily achieved when your body and mind receive the best nutrition from optimally-grown foods.Learn how the Beyond Organic Growing System (BOGS) can produce Nutrition Grown foods, with many times the nutrient content of typical produce. Plants must receive the optimal nutrition they need to be able to express their full potentials to create large arrays of health-giving phytonutrients. In turn, people and animals who eat these Nutrition Grown plants receive the phytonutrients and biophoton energy they need to help them express their full potentials."The cure just might be in the garden-the Nutrition Grown garden!"Praise for Beyond Organic..."In order to take control of your health, I recommend you make an attempt to grow your own food the Beyond Organic way." Jordan Rubin, NMD, PhD, New York Times Bestselling Author, The Maker's Diet, Founder, Garden of Life"For decades 'fast, convenient and cheap' seemed to be what food production was all about. Now Dr. Bogs suggests it might be about 'nourishing people.' What a novel idea!" Frederick Kirschenmann, Author of Cultivating an Ecological Conscience: Essays From a Farmer Philosopher, Distinguished Fellow of Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture, President of Stone Barns center for Food and Agriculture, and President of Kirschenmann Family Farms"Any type of food produced on fully mineralized soil in proper balance contains much more nutrition. I'm not talking here about the insignificant 20 percent more nutrient density that the organic farming industry claims their fruits and vegetables have when compared to conventionally grown stuff; I'm talking about 200 to 300 percent more nutritional content, which is possible to achieve by going beyond what most people think of as 'organically grown.' In case you don't realize the benefits from taking in several times more nutrition than the average person gets today, the reasons why you should are explained in plain talk (and unobtrusively documented with peer-reviewed publications) by Dr. Jana Bogs, a soil-health consultant working in Hawaii. Her book Beyond Organic: Growing for Maximum Nutrition and Flavor will make you stand up and demand nutrient-dense food." Steve Solomon, author of The Intelligent Gardener"Beyond Organic: Growing for Maximum Nutrition and Flavor, the important new book by Dr Jana Bogs, is a tour-de-force covering the profound relationship between soil health and human health. In her personal, passionate and articulate style she demonstrates that we are what we eat, and what we eat comes from soils that are a shadow of their former selves. Beyond Organic is a call to arms for both food producers and consumers. While industrial, extractive agriculture has often delivered contaminated, sub standard produce, the prevalent 'organic by neglect' model has also failed us. On many occasions we pay premium prices for chemical-free food that is demonstrably lacking in the immune-enhancing nutrients for which there is such a need. Jana"s nutrition-focused alternative offers proven solutions and strategies for both home and commercial food producers. Growers and gardeners will discover the secrets of profitable, chemical-free food production whilst acquiring an invaluable insight into their own health, happiness and longevity. Beyond Organic: Growing for Maximum Nutrition and Flavor is a must-have for those seeking to produce nutrient-dense food with forgotten flavors and enhanced medicinal qualities. Thank you Jana, for sharing your personal journey and your in-depth understanding of both the problem and the solution." Graeme Sait, CEO Nutri-Tech Solutions and author of Nutrition Rules!
