Water Catch systems, alternative power sources, alternative cooking/food preservation methods are all things I'm looking for. Along with anything else you guys deem important enough to mention.

Also, shelter construction would also be useful. They are not smart, but have lots of muscle. I plan to harness them to survive the impending apocalypse. Lol

Just a reminder that organic has never been proven to be healthier in any way.
Not one time.
Ever.

Most of it is lure fishing, but there are some good infographs on how to rig live bait for freshwater.

A veritable treasure trove. Thank you, sir. :)

Yeah because eating imazalil with your lemon zest is so healthy for you.

There are some conflicting meta-analyses published
The data is not there that proves organic is healthier
The pic in the op is bullshit

Organic food that you buy at the store isn't only grown with sunshine, rain, and love no matter what the (((organic food industry))) tells you

It's that time again, folks! If you're seeing this for the first time then congratulations, today is your lucky day!

I've been collecting infographics, books, videos, and more for the past few years in hopes of making a comprehensive digital library of practical knowledge. I also frequent a bunch of the blue boards and post links to my library in every infographic thread I find in hopes that it may one day help some anon one day.

Mega:

PLEASE NOTE that the library is meant for the user to drill down to their problem or task at hand, so if you're simply browsing you will find redundancies. Enjoy!

PS - OP, you might want to start in House and Garden before moving on to Survival

The only study I have ever seen is that SOME organic berries have very slightly more lycopene
In years of searching , that is all that has been found

Coming from a biologist, the "organic is more nutritious" idea is complete horseshit and that info graphic is garbage.

"Organic food" is a scientifically unfounded term. The best approximation for it's meaning is, "Botanical crops grown on an area of land that has not been treated with synthetically produced fertilizers, herbicides, or insecticides."

Anyone with a basic understanding of plant physiology knows that plants do not break down fertilizers, soil microbes and fungi do. So the efficacy of a particular fertilizer source on improving plant growth depends vastly more on your soil chemistry and soil biota than whether the substance was produced in a factory or by an animal. Plants, just like animals, are very particular about their internal chemistry. Just because you put manure and wood ash on your plot instead of a chemical N/P/K mix and lime makes no different to your plant, so long as you apply either properly and have appropriately suited soil biota. A crop will always have the same internal chemistry so long as its chemical and energetic inputs are the same. If they have the same internal chemistry, they contain the same nutrients in the same relative quantities.

The supposed benefits of "organic" foods are actually attributable to improved farming practices used in their production. People growing "organic" are usually much smaller scale farms that can afford to use much more labor intensive methods that promote a healthier pedosphere, AKA soil ecosystem. However, these practices are not limited to only "organic" farming, and as a gardener/small farmer you would more than likely see smaller yields as a complete disuse of modern chemical treatments, rather than smarter usage over indiscriminate spraying, will lead to higher competiotion from weeds and greater losses from pests.

TL;DR - How does no pesticides = dramatically different plant biochemistry if the chemicals don't affect the plants, you dummo. Also >no units of measurement

Oh no, my broccoli plant is a child-lover!

But seriously, that makes sense. Is it easy to learn how to encourage healthier soil? Is it worthwhile to even try encouraging better soil for my tiny 4ftx8ft garden?

Not the same anon but we dont know shit about soil microbes.
We only recently discovered fuckloads of dna we did not even know was there.
We only know about shit that thrives in agar agar

>The supposed benefits of "organic" foods are actually attributable to improved farming practices used in their production

Yep. No health benefits for people. The taste may be better in organic stuff, since pesticides and fertilizers tend to cause plants to coarsen up, but the food itself is not healthier.

What organic *does* do is cut down on the sort of overuse of pesticides that lead to pesticide-resistant pests.

It makes sense to post a graphic about organic farming in a self-sufficiency context, because applying synthetic chemicals means buying them from some bigdick mega-agro company, while organic farming can be practiced in a more or less closed loop

Organic is gay
