Aldine's Urban Farm Report features landrace gardener Joseph Lofthouse, who's just returned from a European Tour spreading his method of promiscuous planting. 

  • Landrace Gardening: Food Security Through Biodiversity and Promiscuous Pollination, Joseph Lofthouse. "Advocating a return to traditional regenerative horticulture methods of gardening and farming, while minimizing the use of current agricultural methods. Focusing on communities, and local varieties of crops and animals. Biodiversity and cross-pollination allow selection for crops that thrive under ever-changing conditions while lessening the need for costly inputs, like poisons, fertilizer, materials, and labor. Less labor means more time for friends, family, music, dancing, or whatever it is that brings you joy."
