The Bio-Integrated Farm is a must-read, twenty-first-century
manual for managing natural resources and brings system farming
and permaculture to a whole new level. Jadrnicek’s groundbreaking insights into permaculture go beyond the
term’s philosophical foundation to create hardworking farm-scale
designs. Jadrnicek’s
components serve at least seven functions. With every additional function
that a component performs, the design becomes more advanced and saves
even more energy. A bio-integrated greenhouse, for example, doesn’t just extend the season
for growing vegetables; it also serves as a rainwater collector, a pond
site, an aquaponics system, and a heat generator.
