I heard it recommended on a video for growing on marginal land and it sounds like it may be a useful book.

I hope to this winter, now I'm recovering from all the challenges of the past days, weeks, years, decades (!!) ..

"Some of our most cherished sustainable farming practices have roots in African wisdom. ..

"Soul Fire Farm, cofounded by author, activist, and farmer Leah Penniman, is committed to ending racism and injustice in our food system.

"Through innovative programs such as the Black-Latinx Farmers Immersion, a sliding-scale farmshare CSA, and Youth Food Justice leadership training, Penniman is part of a global network of farmers working to increase farmland stewardship by People of Color, restore Afro-indigenous farming practices, and end food apartheid."

Leah Penniman is doing fabulous things!! Soul Fire Farm is doing great permaculture and building up soil and encouraging younger people to get into working the land, I admire her work a lot.

she also gave a TedX talk, I haven't watched it but I have seen her speak elsewhere, I think she has a lot of good ideas. I'm sure you'll find her book useful.
