the transition handbook: from oil dependency to local resilience the transition handbook: from oil dependency to local resilience
Rob Hopkins

Most of us avoid thinking about what happens when oil runs out (or becomes prohibitively expensive), but 'The Transition Handbook' shows how the inevitable and profound changes ahead can have a positive outcome. These changes can lead to the rebirth of local communities, which will grow more of their own food, generate their own power, and build their own houses using local materials. There are now over 35 formal Transition Initiatives in the UK, including towns, cities, islands, villages and peninsulas, with over 500 globally at the earlier stages of launching this process.

"This is much more than just a book. It is a manual for a movement. And not just any movement, but one which - in avoiding the civilisation collapse threatened by the twin crises of peak oil and climate change - could prove to be the most important social force humanity has ever seen" Mark Lynas, author of 'Six Degrees' 240pp

farmers' markets: the uk potential farmers' markets: the uk potential
Alan Chubb

A Farmers' Market is one where local farmers and growers make up the majority of vendors. For a decade Farmers' Markets have been a big success in the USA. In Britain they could revolutionise the way we buy and sell our food. Buyers and sellers can have direct contact; retail costs and costs to the environment are greatly reduced; and customers can see exactly what they are getting. The Farmers' Market idea is simple, yet it effectively provides a solution to many social, economic and environmental problems. This book contains the research carried out by the Soil Association, covering the potential problems and important criteria of Farmers' Markets, a very good read for anyone interested in this field.
