Free! Green resource book available to Native organizations
Bio Diverse Press is accepting requests for Food Security & Sustainability for the Times Ahead from non-profit organizations that serve indigenous populations. The book’s underlying vision is that we all—individually and collectively—can begin to heal the damage to our planet by our personal choices. When we thoughtfully care for our families and communities, we also care for the earth. Traditional teachings underpin each chapter; pointing in the direction of renewable lifestyles.
Organizations such as libraries, community gardens, food banks, and referral and information services will find the book offers an abundance of helpful information. Below are some examples of the way Food Security & Sustainability may support various programs:
~ Emergency preparedness is covered in the chapters on “Packing the Emergency Cache,” “Your Food Storage Plan,” and “Additional Items for Emergency Caches.”
~ Food distribution programs will find information to help their clients keep food from spoiling or becoming infested with insects in the chapter on “Storing Staples Securely.”
~ Gardening projects will find a unique study guide offered by the chapters on “Food Security 101,” “Food Security and the Garden,” and “Old Time Food Preservation and Storage.”
~ Healthy food and diet programs, as well as money management workshops for at risk populations, will find the chapters on “Food Security 101” and “Balance is Everything” to be indispensable.
~ Sustainability projects will benefit from the chapters on “Sustainability,” “Shop Flexible, Shop Wise,” and “Rethinking Economies and Careers.”
~ Traditional health programs will benefit from the chapters on “Don’t Forget Your Immune System” and “Other Essential Herbs.”

Currently, we have no way of deciphering between the two - we leave it up to the viewer to decide whether the companies serving ads are honest or not.
