About the Author
Growing up on a farm in Kentucky, the author has studied agriculture around the world. From the Sahel in Africa, through the deserts of Central Asia, to the jungles of Southeast Asia, he has gained the experience to understand the realities of feeding a hungry world. Along the way he has worked in wildlife biology, agricultural development, worked as an author and an educator, managed a commercial nursery, and ran a C.S.A. These experiences make him uniquely qualified to guide the uninitiated, or the experienced, into the realm of survival gardening. After years of research abroad, the author and his wife currently reside on their Kentucky farm where they raise sustainably grown fruits, vegetables, and children. The author holds a B.S. in Wildlife Biology and a M.S. in Plant and Soil Science.
