WHY PERMACULTURE?

I am so inspired by the following film, I can't help but pass it on and share it's message. The philosophy behind permaculture or "permanent agriculture" is something I deeply resonate with.  It's an agricultural design that models the natural ecology of a forest.  

The film paints a realistic vision for a sustainable future - one in which we work with nature, rather than against it.  It's a system that restores and heals the earth by encouraging biodiversity, while creating abundant yields of organic crops.  So it's a win win!  What a beautiful concept.  I hope you enjoy watching the film as much as I did.

"Permaculture is a creative and artful way of living, where people and nature are both preserved and enhanced by thoughtful planning, the careful use of resources, mimicking the patterns found in nature, and a respectful approach to life."

-Bill Wilson
