(Romans 1:19-20) . . .God made it manifest to them. For his invisible [qualities] are clearly seen from the world’s creation onward, because they are perceived by the things made, even his eternal power and Godship, so that they are inexcusable;

@MrHendo100 That not the truth and you know it! How do you explain more than 50% of the worlds grain is used to feed the worlds livestock? and 100,000ltrs of water goes into a kilo of grain feed beef production? Our current agriculture is unbalanced and needs changing for the good of humanity and the world we share.

@mrbeam123 Could you please point us to something specific about Jena Hof, something published in English please. Even when I specify results to be english only, I get nothing. What was the page you found?
Is she another biodynamic farmer?

As a master gardener volunteer trained by CA University CE, I discovered comparing crop yields of biodynamic farming/permaculture and industrial foodproduction that biodynamic/ permanculture produce more per acre than conventional farming. Squash for instance is a tropical plant and prefers some shade. It wilts in the sunny summer sun because it is shutting down due to too much light. In Alaska,yields are amazing due to the lower light. Sepp’s lighlty shading vegetables ups yields

@MrHendo100 this makes no sense.. he was feeding a small village.. from his farm.. Why can’t lawns produce food?

I’ve heard he’s being targeted by laws made especially for him. He can’t sell is produce and now he makes his living giving tours. The fascist government over there now charges him 85% of his income in taxes. That’s the way it goes, build something beautiful and governments (under the influence of corporate interests) will do what they can to hose you over.
I plan to get a place and put some permaculture into use but I’ll keep it as low key as possible. It’s best not to be noticed.

Sepp Holzer is showing a way for us as individuals to provide for ourselves and those around us. Its liberating to see the abundance in food production. It gives me choice and encouragement. I feel like growing something.

Overpopulation is the problem and the fact people say permaculture is the answer to future farming is a joke. Permacutlure is the answer to nothing. If every farmer turned to permacultre then i supose overpopulation would soon not be an issue as everybody would starve to death.

@MrHendo100 So is the problem really the principles of permacultre or the fact that we have a population increase that is no built on the carrying capacity of our planet?

The only way for permaculture to work would be to ship billions of people out into the country and for people to set up their own permaculture farms to feed themselves. That means billons more houses/roads to be built at a massive energy cost as well as an eyesore to the countryside which would probably not even be countryside anymore!!!!

What a load of rubbish this permaculture talk is especially when people say it is the answer to feed the world! There is going to be 10 billion people in 2030 and how do you expect to feed the world with this type of farming?????? It will not!! 90% permaculture land is weeds! If every farmer turned to permaculture then how do you expect to harvest the millions of tons of food required to feed the world? By hand? Don’t think so!

if you only got a small piece of land it is practially impossible to create a fully selfcontaining environment, like holzer got it.
but you carefully can create an environment where you artificially control just a small number of variables yourself to keep it running”

@vutEwa brillant!! – best news i heard all day! lol Be sure to improve the soil..
volcanic mineralizers are the best nutrients to add, ive found.. well done, spread the news, as an inspiration to others. there is a video of someone on similar land, who has build a home there and is totally sustainable. his video is worth checking out..its called Keith Thompson: Totally Off The Grid

@SovereignBeing I am. I got started this last year with “junk land”. Got land in November, by end of December I had it fenced and have a motohome on site so I can stay the weekends there while I focus on making the land better. Soon as winter is over I’ll be digging deep trenches and forming the land for raised bed gardening. This will probably take me a whole year, just me myself and I on weekends with a shovel and wheelbarrow.
