[Community_garden] Nutrition gardens

Thu Jul 5 12:31:51 EDT 2007

Stacia Nordin, an American dietitian who lives in Malawi has done a lot of
work with permaculture and nutrition in Malawi. I believe she has recently
put together a handbook. As well, Ann Burgess has published some work on
gardens in East Africa, but it is older now. I don't have the contacts for
either of them, but I'm sure you'd find it if you looked online.

> seedlings to laying in the last cover crops, he kept careful records of
> what
> he grew, what he ate, his labor, and his yields. Between April and
> October,
> he restricted his diet almost entirely to food from his "nutrition
> garden,"
> which is located on a portion of the raised-bed garden site at the
> Center's
> 25-acre UCSC (University of California, Santa Cruz) Farm.
