Gardening & Environment Food & Drink Health & Medicine
The Permaculture Book of Ferment and Human Nutrition by Bill Mollison distills the co-originator of permaculture’s decades of hands-on research into food preservation, gut health, and low-impact living. This 2011 Tagari softcover explores fermentation across cultures, showing how microbes transform garden surplus into nutrient-dense staples while slashing kitchen waste.
Richly illustrated with diagrams and tables, the 278-page guide walks readers through fermenting vegetables, grains, dairy, and beverages, then links each process to soil health and closed-loop farming. Mollison’s practical voice makes complex biology feel friendly to homesteaders, chefs, and sustainability students alike.
The oversized paperback arrives in very good condition—clean, crisp pages ready for kitchen reference. No writing, stains, or cracked spine; just a gently used copy eager for another round of salty, bubbling experiments.
A staple for fans of fermentation, permaculture gardening, and off-grid cuisine, this textbook deepens any cookbook shelf. Grab the illustrated edition and start turning backyard abundance into probiotic gold.
