Arktisk leksikon
Stephen Barstow er en av 200 bidragsytere fra seks kontinenter og 37 land til et arktisk leksikon som publiseres i dag! Han har skrevet en artikkel med tittel “Garden”.
Leksikonet “The Arctic Encyclopaedia” er nå tilgjengelig online, i tillegg til papir, og er publisert av the Arctic Economic Council.
Her er et utdrag fra det Stephen Barstow valgte å skrive om “Garden”: “Throughout the Arctic, it’s actually the perennial
plants that dominate. It makes much more sense to
grow perennial vegetables, as they come quickly into
growth in spring from an established root system
and utilize the available solar energy optimally over the season. One of those perennial vegetables, patience dock (Rumex patientia), was well known to Schubeler as a cultivated vegetable in the north, but
it is hardly grown today. There is huge potential for
sustainable vegetable production in the Arctic.”
