#15 What if we change - Perennial Paradise - Zaytuna Farm
All around the world people are asking what they can do to help to heal the earth. The permaculture movement is showing what individuals can do to bring health and happiness into their lives and at the same time restore the Earth's natural ecosystem function. In "Perennial Paradise" Geoff Lawton shows some of the many simple but practical work being used and taught at the Permaculture Research Institute's Zaytuna Farm in Australia. "What if we Change" is very happy that through this collaboration with the Permaculture Research Institute we can share this film online and in the broadcast series in Africa, China, the U.S.A. and beyond. Film by Craig Mackintosh and Geoff Lawton

Another example of how difficult it is for people to break habits they were raised with.
This guy has zero need for meat (or dairy) and he knows it, be he's still working the insulting, brutal, heartless, soul-poisoning, body-poisoning murder & corpse consumption of the goats into his system. Completely unnecessary, easily worked out of the system, but still doing it anyway. Just plain sad. I think he'll eventually grow out of it but it's just depressing to see him still doing it at the moment. -
this guy is amazing

What a badass!! Even the flies are rendered useful! I'm impressed. Where do I learn this stuff?

Hi. Do Bunya nuts grow ok in swampy soil? What is their favourite kind of soil?

It's really beautiful farm / paradise. Question at the back of my mind is; Sure it looks nice. But can one produce marketable product from this farm. Since everything is mixed, looks like it is cumbersome to harvest. Can anyone elucidate.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful video. -
It does look like a paradaise.

This is great.

I can understand the emotive feelings people can bring to this example of 'Living' . I am also disappointed in the lack of attention of those watching the 'look but don't listen' brigade. This is permaculture. To remove any element, just because of your choice -- well that's how things on this planet got to be like they are, plus a few more choice character traits - greed & avarice and ignorance. Power to your elbow, a great conversion from an old cattle farm to working example of permaculture and school.

Not too big on the 'processing' of the male baby goats- disgusting ! Not too great on eating the fish or chickens either. I believe a lot of our emotional problems stem from desensitizing ourselves from our emotions long enough to eat meat. I get how it happened - necessity- but we can use hemp and mushrooms and nuts to solve our protein needs now

I'm unable to tell what the land looked like previously in the large scale, because the two landscape photos were taken in different seasons. The first landscape photo was taken in winter 2002 when grass is yellow and deciduous trees are bare. The second photo was taken in summer, 2012 when grass is green and trees are leafed out. It's not much of a comparison. Obviously, the summertime photo is going to be a lot greener and more filled in. Would have been a more apt comparison if both photos were taken in summer.
