Holzgau - Raised garden bed in mountainous terrain

Hi, I'm Afrothetics, from the United States, with many interests, and reading and writing articles for Wikipedia enriches them. Professionally, I have worked in multiple disciplines: as a university professor and area studies administrator in U.S. colleges and universities, as well as abroad; as a consultant on development assistance projects in agriculture, water management, and fisheries in Africa, Asia, the Near East, and the Caribbean; and, as an editor of an academic journal. Currently, I am an avid polyculture gardener and permaculture practitioner interested in strengthening and expanding regional foodsheds to promote food security and eat nutritious foods along the journey.
