Sunde frugter og bær fra egen have Denne bog giver dig inspiration og viden til at dyrke dine egne frugter og bær på økologisk, naturlig vis. Bogen beskriver over 60 arter af frugt og bær, som kan dyrkes i haven. Nogle kræver megen plads, mens andre kan gro i en krukke på altanen. Succesen bliver størst med gode, robuste sorter, og her omtales over 250 sorter, så der er noget at vælge imellem. De sygdomme og skadedyr, der kan ramme frugterne eller træerne, bliver beskrevet, og her er vejledning til, hvordan du kan undgå dem eller bekæmpe dem med økologiske metoder. Bogen er skrevet af hortonom Maren Korsgaard, der selv er økologisk frugtavler med over 30 års erfaring som rådgiver for økologiske frugtavlere. Hun har desuden 12 års erfaring med frugtforskning på Københavns Universitet, hvor hun især har arbejdet med frugt- og bærsorterne på Pometet, vores nationale genbank. Frugtsorterne er illustrereret med de smukkeste akvareller, malet af Kirsten Tind samt en række fine fotos.

DYRK LIVET handler om en simpel idé med et stort potentiale: skolehaver. Udgangspunktet er foreningen Haver til maver, der tilbyder skoleklasser et otte ugers forløb i det fri, men ideen er langt større end det. Det er visionen om, at børn fra alle landets skoler skal opleve naturen tæt på i vækstsæsonen fra forår til efterår. De skal lære at dyrke livet sammen – selve det at så, luge, høste og tilberede planter. Ja, de skal opleve utroligheden helt tæt på. Gennem 10 kapitler kommer læseren med ud i mulden, når medstifter af Haver til maver og Aarstiderne, Søren Ejlersen, udbreder sin skolehave-mission og inviterer ind i sin verden, hvor magi og nærhed regerer. Hans budskab er ligetil: Vi og vores børn skal for vores egen og jordens skyld tættere på naturen igen. Vi skal ud i haven, ned i jorden og op i træerne. Lige nu er vi amputeret fra naturen, kan man sige. Man kan også sige, at vi har mistet jordforbindelsen. Skolehaver er en del af løsningen. Den tilbyder både konkret læring og ukonkret livskvalitet.

CAMILLAS KØKKENHAVE handler om Camilla Plums livsprojekter. Den handler om skønhed, farver, smag og mad, om køkkenhave grøntsager og urter, om biodiversitet og økologi. Eller med et smukkere ord, den handler om mangfoldighed.

Du kan læse om ukrudt som ikke kun er dårligt, om sorterne, om de gamle sorter, om grøntsager, du overhovedet ikke kan købe, men kun dyrke selv. Du kan læse om alt det, Camilla Plum har brugt en god del af sit liv på at arbejde med, fordi det simpelthen er endeløst dejligt og fascinerende at dyrke sin egen mad. Bogen er grundig nok til begyndere og avanceret nok for dem, der allerede ved en masse om at dyrke.

Samtidig er den en opfordring til at tage vare på byens frirum og grønne oaser og viderebringe en værdifuld havekulturarv til kommende generationer.Om forfatterneMette Esmark og Bettina Gram er begge nysgerrige haveejere i N/F Sundvænget.

Cassava is a staple crop in many nations due to its adaptability to a wide range of climates. It has expanded across tropical Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and Latin America. Cassava, noted for its high carbohydrate content, is third in carbohydrate content after rice and maize. Cassava - Recent Updates on Food, Feed, and Industry is the second edition of our previous book, Cassava - Biology, Production, and Use. This new edition has four sections. The first section discusses the perspectives of several countries on cassava, including food security and the circular economy. Due to the importance of cassava in many countries, the second section examines recent biotechnological advances as well as soil management and modifications in the improvement of cassava. The third section discusses disease management and control of cassava plants. Due to its widespread use and industrial importance, cassava has been subjected to biological and technological intervention for processing into food, feed, and other industrial matter, which is covered in the final section. We hope that this book will help readers gain advanced knowledge about cassava and learn from experts in the field with multiple perspectives.

In the lush landscapes where tropical climates thrive, the jackfruit tree (Artocarpus heterophyllus) stands tall, its branches laden with the world's largest fruit. "From Seed to Supper: Jackfruit" captures the fascinating journey of this versatile and nutritious marvel, from its humble beginnings as a seed to gracing tables around the globe. The story begins with the seed-a small, unassuming package harboring the potential for an arboreal giant. Nestled in fertile soil, the jackfruit seed germinates, sending forth a shoot that gradually transforms into a robust sapling. The young tree, under the embrace of sunlight and nourishing rains, embarks on a journey of growth, reaching heights of up to 80 feet. Its expansive canopy provides shelter to an array of creatures while signaling the promise of a bountiful harvest. As the jackfruit tree matures, it sets the stage for the emergence of flowers-tiny, inconspicuous blossoms that hold the secret to the tree's fecundity. In nature's dance, these flowers release pollen, inviting the intervention of wind or pollinators. The successful fertilization of these flowers marks the beginning of the jackfruit's transformation from mere potential to tangible fruition. With the promise of fruit, the tree dedicates its resources to nurturing the young jackfruits. Initially, these small, green orbs are inconspicuous, almost camouflaged among the leaves. As they grow, their spiky exteriors shield the sweet, fibrous flesh within. Patiently, the jackfruit swells, drawing sustenance from the soil and the sun, until it reaches a formidable size-sometimes weighing up to 80 pounds. The ripening process is a spectacle in itself. The once green and knobbly exterior metamorphoses into a vibrant, yellow hue, signaling the jackfruit's readiness for harvest. The air becomes infused with a sweet aroma, beckoning farmers and enthusiasts alike to partake in the harvest. Harvesting the jackfruit is an art, requiring skill to navigate the tree's towering height and dexterity to cut through its resilient stem. Once harvested, the jackfruit unveils its treasure trove of golden bulbs, each encapsulating a unique blend of sweetness and mildness. From the seeds to the fleshy pods, every part of the jackfruit carries the potential to be transformed into delectable dishes. "From Seed to Supper: Jackfruit" encapsulates not just the botanical journey of this remarkable fruit but also its culinary significance. A culinary chameleon, the jackfruit adapts to myriad recipes, taking on savory or sweet notes with equal finesse. From curries to sandwiches, tacos to desserts, the jackfruit's versatility knows no bounds, offering a delectable experience for those willing to explore its culinary landscape. In the hands of skilled chefs and home cooks alike, the journey of the jackfruit-from seed to supper-culminates in a delightful feast. Each mouthful is a testament to the intricate dance of nature, the perseverance of the jackfruit tree, and the culinary creativity inspired by this tropical giant. "From Seed to Supper: Jackfruit" invites us to savor not just the fruit's succulence but the rich tapestry of stories woven into every bite.

The freed world, rising up out of the shadows of Veggie Corp's severe rule, presently remains as a demonstration of flexibility and the victory of the human soul. Roads once watched by vegetable masters are presently bursting at the seams with the dynamic rushing about of a general public freed from the shackles of oppression. Commercial centers overflow with different countenances, every individual adding to the kaleidoscope of a reawakened social personality.

Characters, having battled to liberate the world from the environmental oppression of Veggie Corp, presently find themselves watchmen of nature in a scene where outside dangers pose a potential threat. The story alludes to a natural landmark where the freed society should guard obligation to the planet against powers try to sabotage the illustrations gained from Veggie Corp's environmental abuse. Socially, the freed society's renaissance faces difficulties from remainders of Veggie Corp's philosophy looking to penetrate the social scene. The story proposes a reality where characters, once at the front of social recovery, should now safeguard the stories they revived from outer endeavors at concealment. The roads, decorated with dynamic articulations of variety, become landmarks where the freed society shields social personality against those wish to eradicate the hard-battled triumphs of the Veggie Grudge. Relational connections, fashioned in the pot of contention, explore new intricacies in the freed world. The sneak look dives into the perplexing elements of special interactions stressed by outer tensions. Characters, when limited by a shared adversary, end up at junction where dissimilar ways might rethink partnerships and reshape the story of their entwined fates. The story proposes that relational bonds, when the paste that kept the defiance intact, face tests that might reshape the characters' directions in erratic ways.
