Temperate Agroforestry Systems
by Andrew Gordon & Steven Newman
CAB International, 1997. ISBN 0-85199-147-5. 288 pp.
This book explores the development of temperate agroforestry and agroforestry systems, concentrating on those temperate areas where the greatest advances, adoptions and modifications have taken place: North America, New Zealand, Australia, China and Europe. The main chapters deal with the history, development and current state of agroforestry in these regions. Agroforestry systems are widespread and are shown to be economically, environmentally and agronomically effective. A very important book, which will interest and enthuse all interested in agroforestry and tree crops, and gives important guidelines and examples of how to design agroforestry systems.

Agroforestry for Soil Management
by Anthony Young
CAB International / ICRAF, 1997. ISBN 0-85199-189-0. 328 pp.
As all organic farmers and gardeners know, the health of the soil is all important. This new book shows, by reviewing the vast amount of agroforestry and soil research in the last 10 years, that agroforestry systems have proven benefits to soil health and have the potential to form th basis of a more biologically sustainable agriculture of the future. Agroforestry for Soil Management complements Gordon & Newman’s book well, and is a powerful argument for setting up agroforestry systems. Essential reading which proves that the benefits of agroforestry are numerous.

Homing In: Wisdom, Knowledge and Practice in Temperate Forest Gardening (pdf version via email)
By Justin West
MSc dissertation, 2006. Supplied as a pdf file via email.
After a month long hiatus in the wild north territory of James Bay, Canada, home of the Cree Indians, Justin returned to Devon England with a simple idea: ecology is the science of belonging. In this MSc dissertation he takes aim at edible forest gardening as a form of food production which is inherently ecological because it is entirely focused on the belonging of species to particular environmental conditions and in association with each other. This work is, for simplicity, divided into three parts; belief, knowledge, and practice. It is his feeling that ecology has become lost in the ‘logos’ (knowledge gathering) and has lost site of the ‘ecos’ (the home). To regain focus on the idea of the home as the basis for understanding how we are to belong in this world he suggests that any person’s particular ecological knowledge must be aligned with an ecosophy, as well as an ‘ecopraxy.’ That is, we must engage with our environments not only through reductionist science, but also through a lived practice as well as through contemplative consideration for our place. Challenged along the way is the western concept of ‘nature’ as a thing distinct and separate from humanity. If we look more closely we can see quite clearly that the living world is more appropriately described through dynamic process, events.

Edible forest gardening has been his lens into a holistic ecology of appropriate action for the cool temperate climate of Britain. He has woven philosophical meanderings with a rigorous comparative study of invertebrate diversity in a forest garden and a ‘native’ woodland. His practice of forest gardening at the ART is woven throughout the text, and culminates in the final chapter where he explores a forest garden pattern language for the land at Schumacher College.

Nitrogen-fixing Plants for Temperate Climates
by Martin Crawford
2nd rev Edition, 1998. ISBN 1-874275-38-6. A4, 89 pages.
Plants which fix nitrogen (ie utilise nitrogen from the air) are some of the most useful plants in agriculture, horticulture, forestry and agroforestry. Their use can lead to much reduced fertiliser usage, lower losses of soil nitrogen through leaching, and improved soil fertility through increased soil organic matter.
Most people only know of the legumes as nitrogen-fixers; however, there are several other plants groups which do so, notably the so-called actinorhizal plants (including alders, Elaeagnus, sea buckthorn) which are mostly of temperate origin and better-suited to cool temperate climates.
This directory describes the different groups of plants which fix nitrogen, including the legumes, the actinorhizal plants, liverworts, and lichens. Most fixation occurs via a symbiotic relationship with bacteria in root nodules, and the nodulation status of temperate genera are listed, with notes on cross-compatibility between different strains of bacteria and different genera.
The nitrogen contributions which N-fixing plants can make are discussed, and an overview of the different uses given, including their use in forest and fruiting gardens as well as in forestry and agriculture. The main parts of the directory describe over 450 different species and their in-depth uses. This includes tables, organised by plant type, showing conditions required and uses of all species.
