Discover tried and tested ways to grow food in our changing climate with multi-award-winning journalist, commentator, broadcaster, and gardening magazine editor, Kim Stoddart.

Whether it's water-usage restrictions, extended heat waves, disastrous flooding, super weeds, or prolonged pest lifecycles, the coming years will be filled with daunting challenges for food growers around the world. What's a gardener to do? In The Climate Change Resilient Vegetable Garden, Author Kim Stoddart outlines a clear path toward building resilience in your vegetable plants, your soil, and yourself.

This empowering, practical guide demonstrates dynamic and durable ways to grow food for less money--for people, plate, and planet. Learn to:

  • Foster adaptation by selectively breeding your favorite veggie varieties for local growing conditions
  • Nurture biologically active soils that are better able to support your plants
  • Create bioswales, berms, and rain gardens to improve your garden's flood tolerance
  • Plant windbreaks, erect cold frames, and make mini hoop tunnels to protect plants from wind, snow, and surprise frosts
  • Enhance biodiversity in your garden to increase pest predation and keep bad insects in check
  • Discover intensive planting techniques to improve yields while protecting your soil and reducing water usage
  • Select the most adaptable fruit and vegetable crops to grow and tend them in a climate change-savvy way
  • Recycle rainwater, repurpose household items, and live lightly on the land for a more resourceful gardening life
