Farming with the Wild: Enhancing Biodiversity on Farms and Ranch

A new vision for a more environmentally beneficial and sustainable agriculture is emerging. Such a vision begins with farms that gracefully meld within landscapes, pulsing with a wide range of native species. It combines implementation of landscape-level restoration efforts, natural systems farming research, and the community spirit of farmers' markets and local watershed stakeholders groups.

Presenting an inspiring and unique look at this new conservation-based agriculture, Farming with the Wild offers vivid profiles of more than forty farms, ranches, and organizations in the U.S. together with more than 200 revealing full-color photographs. The result is an on-the-ground picture of a new agrarian movement that aims to provide healthier food to Americans while restoring healthy ecosystems across the country. This ambitious project was named the book "Most Likely to Save the Planet"� by the Independent Publisher Book Awards in 2004 and has been the focus of a highly successful and ongoing outreach campaign in collaboration with the Wild Farm Alliance.
