Produktbeschreibung
Florida's Food Forest Cookbook makes creating healthy, easy-to-prepare, zero-waste meals straightforward. For those looking to convert their lawns and backyards into food forests (using the author’s Transforming Florida Yards), this companion cookbook offers 400 sweet and savory recipes and menus for 20 easy-to-grow, sustainable plants that thrive without pesticides, herbicides, toxins, or additives. The included recipes—containing no more than six ingredients—are quick and easy to prepare, helping Floridians improve their well-being. Florida faces high rates of malnourishment and chronic disease. Approximately one in three children is overweight or obese, and one in six has a developmental disability—both conditions can be exacerbated by poor diet and sedentary lifestyles. If current trends continue, more than half of Florida’s population is projected to be overweight or obese by 2030, with a similar proportion expected to be living with prediabetes or diabetes, posing a significant public health challenge. Florida's Food Forest Cookbook is a back-to-basics manifesto that empowers home gardeners to enhance their quality of life and culinary knowledge while improving both their health and their landscapes.
