Happy 2011, readers!

Below you’ll find the first chapter of Carol Deppe’s The Resilient Gardener: Food Production and Self-Reliance in Uncertain Times, excerpted for your enjoyment. In this book (named by Amazon.com as one of the ten best Home & Gardening Books of 2010!), scientist/gardener Deppe combines her passion for gardening with newly emerging scientific information from many fields — resilience science, climatology, climate change, ecology, anthropology, paleontology, sustainable agriculture, nutrition, health, and medicine. Deppe extends and illustrates these principles with detailed information about growing and using five key crops: potatoes, corn, beans, squash, and eggs.

In addition to this excerpt, don’t miss Carol Deppe’s in-depth Q&A session with Chelsea Green’s Associate Editor, Makenna Goodman, which originally ran on Alternet this past fall and was one of our most popular stories of the year.
