Synopsis

Weather is changing, but your harvest doesn’t have to. Climate-Smart Crop Strategies is a complete, hands-on guide to growing thriving vegetables in heat, deluge, drought, wind, and late frost. Start by understanding local risks and choosing resilient crops, then fortify your ground with compost, mulches, cover crops, and no-till practices that hold moisture, buffer temperature, and build biology.

Design water-wise systems—drip, soaker, and gravity-fed—to deliver moisture where roots need it most. Add protection with living and structural windbreaks, shade tunnels, trees, and row covers to cool canopies, cut stress, and even gain weeks on both ends of the season. Round it out with step-by-step season-extension (tunnels, greenhouses, thermal mass) and smarter, ecology-based pest management for a warming world. Whether you grow in backyards, community lots, or micro-farms, this book gives you adaptable playbooks to stabilize yields and grow abundance despite the weather.
