Synopsis
Why do whole-farming planning? What makes it more effective than other ways of managing farms? The answers to these questions lie in a quiet rediscovery through science that is fundamentally changing the way modern humans see and must manage the world. The goal of this whole-farm planning manual is to reintroduce a macroscopic method of making and testing decisions on the farm and in larger wholes in which we live. This NOFA guide has information on: - Lessons from systems science (including tools) - Assessing the whole farm (what are we managing? the people, physical and mental assets, money) - Understanding the farm ecosystems (the water and mineral cycles, dynamics of the biological community, the energy flow) - Choosing appropriate tools - Making a framework to test decisions Including examples and statements from practicing farmers, and more holistic resources and alternative business models., Why do whole-farming planning?

- v***4 (110)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchasePurchased 5 car Madison rail car set at auction. Received package well wrapped and in original box. Cars themselves are in excellent condition and mostly as described, although I believe they have seen some track time. That being said, seller offers returns so I'm confident seller was told these cars were new by whomever he got them from. The purchase price was excellent so when averaged with a higher than normal shipping fee it turned out to be an overall good deal.
- D***-- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseI have ordered a couple of magazines from this company and I absolutely would buy from them again. Having said that, the shipping company (DHL) TOOK 2 MONTHS + to get it to me. This delay in no way reflects the company from who it was purchased. Great price, excellent packaging and prompt communication.(D) #27D - RARE 1966 DRAG CARTOONS MAGAZINE BATMAN & ROBIN COVER PETE MILLARS (#387611465652)
- i***_ (539)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchasePerfect seller, perfect buying experience! Great communication, fast to ship, excellent packaging job, especially for a larger eBay book seller, shipped in cardboard sleeve that protects the book well! Thrift Books, Second.Sale, World of Books, and Half-Price Books should TAKE NOTE, those 4 companies ship in plastic bags with zero protection that almost always damage books. Item in awesome condition, super helpful seller, will definitely buy from you again! Thank you, Books From California!
