If we are aim to produce a significant amount of quality food locally, then clearly we will need to become fairly expert at how to work with plants, have solid objective understandings of their intrinsic characteristics. Growing Food is meant to identify the role of plants themselves in contrast the first section on Site Selection which essentially outlined the conditions or environment in which they grow. No distinction is perfect and neither is this one. The interplay of the environment and the organism is profoundly complex, and highlighting the relationship is of primary importance. The purpose in attempting to create specific categories is not to define the puzzle only by its parts, but to allow us to use specificity as a tool which can speak to us in a broader contextual language of a plant or animals relation within a palate of human concerns . To say it a little more plainly by attempting to make two separate distinct categories of the environment and the organism we are able to look at the connections more clearly in a certain sense We hope the categories are helpful, but encourage any proposing or offering information on how other formats might work better. but suggest the reductionist approach to relationships can serve as an underpinning of sorts that can lead the way to recognize and speculate on the trends and potentials But before drawing the connections, there is sometimes a need to define elements in a sense in isolation and in some detail, before connecting to the larger relationships in the environment Plants are the part of the process that is perceptible to us. and therefore interact and impact us with us in a different manner than the processes which are relatively invisible
