Hello Bob

I found this website on another forum . It has an amazing amount of information about everything from individual grain sto rabbits to you nasme it. It is meant to help in third world countries.

I don't know, yet, just how good all of the information is, but I can't imagine a group putting together this enormous amount of free information for a waste of time. The first link is to the site. The second link is kind of an explanation of the site with different links. I'm still trying to figure it out myself...........bobford

Just one man rather than a group, Alex Weir. His idea is to make the whole library available as a series of 44 downloadable CDs for local distribution. Travis Hughey also hosts the whole library at his website, including a lot of pdf's which aren't downloadable from Alex's site (graphic files, not text):
<http://www.fastonline.org/CD3WD_40/CD3WD/INDEX.HTM>

There's a lot of great information at CD3WD, but it's not easy to find just what's there, the index gives you a few key words and not much more, it's difficult to browse.

We made a couple of sub-directories to the CD3WD library that are easier to access, available at the Journey to Forever Small Farms Library:
<http://journeytoforever.org/farm_library.html>

Online collections

VITA -- Volunteers in Technical Assistance -- 160 VITA publications
<http://journeytoforever.org/farm_library.html#oncoll>

FAO Better Farming Series -- Series of 44 manuals
<http://journeytoforever.org/farm_library.html#betfarm>

Classic manuals online -- 46 classic books for backyarders, homesteaders, small farms and tropical development
<http://journeytoforever.org/farm_library.html#classic>

That's only a small part of the CD3WD library, it's worth spending time there, lots of treasure to find.

HTH - all best
