Food, Africa, and the Pursuit of Contentedness

Bag om Food, Africa, and the Pursuit of Contentedness

Mark's tales take us on a 60 year journey, from suburban Minneapolis to the heart of Africa as a Peace Corps volunteer in the early1980s. Along the way we discover what we have lost, and what the Central African villagers can help us to reclaim. With food as the central thread, this book is a sometimes humorous, sometimes poignant reminder of what is truly important in life. Mark showcases some of his ideas and products that have helped them become more self-reliant; things like fish farming, hydroponics, hoop house gardening, raising chickens, raised bed gardening, composting, and even canoe building. In all that he does, the lessons learned in the Central African Republic, and the appropriate technology approach to problem solving, guide his course.
