Trees as food, land care, and agriculture

J. Russell Smith’s book examines how trees can serve agricultural and ecological purposes at once: providing food while helping conserve soil. Drawing on travel and research, Smith discusses species including carob, honey locust, persimmon, mulberry, oaks, and pecans, with attention to their potential contributions to the land and to people and animals who depend on it. The reprinted edition includes more than 80 pages of photographs. First published in 1929 and last updated in 1953, it presents an early, historically situated case for tree-based agriculture.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in agroforestry and the history of sustainable agriculture
  • Gardeners and land stewards curious about food-producing trees
  • Readers seeking a historical perspective on soil conservation
