Sobre este e-book

Farming Calendars explores how farmers worldwide have historically used seasonal, lunar, and climate-based calendars to optimize agricultural productivity. These calendars, far from being relics of the past, represent a sophisticated blend of astronomical observation, climate prediction, and practical agricultural experience accumulated over generations. For instance, knowledge of solstices and equinoxes, combined with rainfall patterns, informs decisions about planting, irrigation, and pest control. Understanding these traditional ecological knowledge systems is increasingly vital for sustainable agriculture and climate change adaptation.

The book examines diverse agricultural settings, demonstrating how different cultures interpret and apply farming calendars. It analyzes the scientific basis of these calendars, comparing traditional knowledge with modern meteorological and astronomical data, showing the enduring relevance of these practices.

Progressing from fundamental concepts to specific regional examples, Farming Calendars culminates in exploring practical applications for contemporary agriculture, highlighting how integrating traditional calendar knowledge with modern science can lead to more resilient and productive farming systems, ultimately improving crop yields and promoting sustainable farming.
