Description
After renovating his inner-city Sydney terrace and making it almost entirely self-sufficient in energy, water, and waste disposal, Michael Mobbs realised his house was sustainable, but he wasn't. While his house saves 100,000 litres of dam water a year, the same amount of water is used to produce ten days' worth of food for the average Australian.
In this companion book to the bestselling Sustainable House, Mobbs turns his attention to reducing the carbon emissions associated with growing, processing, transporting, selling, and disposing of food. With his own experiences anchoring the book, Sustainable Food contains practical advice on establishing community and backyard vegetable gardens, keeping chooks and bees, and reducing water usage.
The book also provides insights into dealing with councils, sidelining supermarkets, and understanding what we eat and why.
