Isabell Shipard would like you to learn how to be self sufficient. Isabell is one of Australia’s most knowledgable and sought after authorities on herbs and author of the acclaimed books How can I use Herbs in my daily life? and How can I grow and use Sprouts as living food? says,
“For many years I taught Herb Courses, covering many edible plants, and included a segment on survival foods and the importance of self-sufficiency for possible hard times. People often expressed that I should put this information into a book.
Self Sufficiency Book Commendations
How to be self sufficient
With the economic squeeze in Australia, and severe drought experienced over large areas of farmland, just what will the future hold for average Australian families? Everyone is experiencing the pressure, as food, fuel and the cost of living has dramatically risen in price. In this 21st century we are seeing major disasters that are disrupting peoples lives in so many areas of the world. We must all be more conscious of ways to reduce, recycle, repair and reuse items and consider how we can all tread more softly on Planet Earth.”
“What I desire is that all who read this book will be inspired and motivated to take action for the benefit of the planet and their families and learn how to be self sufficient.”
We believe the book, How can I be prepared with Self-Sufficiency and Survival Foods? will be a valuable reference manual for every person and family. This book offers encouragement about the importance of being as self-sufficient as one is able and an action plan to help you ‘ride the storms’. Isabell shows us how to be prepared with a step-by-step emergency management plan for food provisions and essential supplies as she teaches how to be self sufficient.
The book is A4 size, (Now in 3rd Edition) 136 pages, and beautifully illustrated with over 100 coloured pictures. The full colour cover is celloglazed, with a durable stitched and bound spine.
We need to encourage one another to be as self sufficient as possible… now… in our gardens, as this is the most nutritious fresh food and and cheapest way to live in these times of rising prices. Growing our own food is very satisfying as well as beneficial to health and well-being.
Susan Jones –
In 2008 I purchased this amazing book . Inside you will find everything you need to know about growing and using edible and pharmaceutical plants, how to create a ‘survival plan’ for any major disaster that disrupts our lives. It includes seed saving tips, identifying and using edible weeds, recipes, food preservation and its safe storage. The information is as relevant today as the day it was written. Isabell has left an invaluable survival manual for us to tap into.
