Farming with the Wild: Enhancing Biodiversity on Farms and Ranches
2003, Watershed Media/Sierra Club Books
Foreword by Fred Kirschenmann
Featuring profiles from more than 20 states and illustrated with over 200 color photographs, Farming with the Wild offers a compelling vision of farming and ranching operations integrated into regional networks of protected wildlands. This book chronicled my journeys to the far reaches of the United States (as well as Chile and Mexico) in search of farmers, ranchers, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations who are striving to develop and renew successful agricultural practices that are compatible with wild nature. Combining elements of travelog, photo essay, and resource guide, it provides valuable information and inspiration for conversationists, farmers, ranchers, gardeners, students, landowners, and anyone interested in a truly sustainable future for agriculture and biodiversity. Farming with the Wild was awarded the 2004 “Most Likely to Save the Planet” distinction from the Independent Publisher Book Awards.
