Most modern farming relies on external inputs to replace functions that a healthy ecosystem can perform for free. When we dismantle these natural partnerships, our costs go up and the resilience of our production systems goes down. This Ecological Farming Handbook shows you how to repair these broken systems so you can learn how to:

The Ecological Farming Handbook, by Dr. Wendy Seabrook, is over 100 pages packed full of clear diagrams, success stories, and links to hands-on videos showing how farmers apply the principles.

With the Ecological Farming Handbook, you get much more than a ‘how-to’ of regenerative practices like cover, multi-species, and alley cropping, applying compost and using no-till. You get professional advice from over 20 years of research and practical experience with using this eco-logical approach to regenerative agriculture.

With the eco-logic explained, instructions supported by clear diagrams, a comprehensive toolkit of regenerative practices, and links to videos showing how other farmers use this approach, you'll gain the know-how to fix the growing issues holding you back - above and below ground!

This practical and science-based Handbook is organized into six sections:

"This beautifully illustrated handbook presents practical, hands-on guidance for farmers wishing to improve both the productivity and sustainability of their land.

Dr Seabrook draws on the experiences of farmers worldwide alongside her own work at Hill Top Farm in tropical Australia. She emphasizes the need for growers to define their goals and apply ecological principles to achieve them.

The handbook demonstrates how working with nature improves soil fertility, minimizes pests and diseases, and reduces the impacts of drought to maximize production, all without reliance on expensive agrichemicals. This farmer-friendly, wildlife-friendly, and climate-friendly approach applies globally, from resource-poor smallholders to large-scale agricultural enterprises."

"Wendy Seabrook is on the money when it comes to regenerative agriculture. Her teachings and advice are being shown to markedly improve lands used for farming and cropping. I especially enjoyed reading her 'Eco-logical Farming Handbook' where every page is full of information that creates more 'wow moments' than I thought possible! A great read."

"The great thing about the Eco-logical Farming Handbook - we are on a journey and understand where we want to go."

"Extraordinary!"

"Thank you so much for writing your book. It is a most concise, yet comprehensive guide to regenerative food production systems I have come across. I have had contact with several of the people referred to in your book, but it is difficult to bring all of the different ideas and practices together. The Handbook does that brilliantly."

Size doesn't matter. Smallholders, market and community gardeners, large-scale crop and grazing operations improve their soils and reduce crop losses by repairing the ecological systems in their production systems.

Yes, the fundamental principles are applicable whatever your climate and production system. There are orchardists, dairy farmers, market gardeners, grain producers, grazers, and even hydroponic growers benefiting from using this eco-logical approach to regenerative agriculture.

Farmers from the cold north of Scotland to Africa's hot, sultry tropics and arid landscapes use this ecological approach. The ecological principles are the same. Tools, techniques and species differ as growers adapt these practices to their climate.

Farmers often experience higher and more reliable yields, less damage from pests, diseases and extreme weather. They also create opportunities to increase their income streams by stacking new enterprises within their production systems.
