Farming With Nature - Permaculture with Sepp Holzer

[roymaitland]

Why Permaculture is necessary!  forever-green.ca/

[sustainable2012]

Permaculture, or Holzerism is the design science to practice austrian economics.

For best legal effect, write a trust and incorporate all of your microsystems as LLC's in a trust to avoid certain costs.

Aquaponics would be an LLC

Orchard

ect.

eventually as your system grows you can higher trustees to manage the LLC as apart of your business trust... this is how you become a "transcendentalist" <--- BIG WORD

[SAVETHECHILDREN6592]

What difference should it make if the third world survives and all the white people go extinct?

Why AFRICA FOR AFRICANS, ASIA FOR ASIANS, AND WHITE COUNTRIES FOR EVERYONE?

Permaculture must include the prevention of the extinction of the white race.

[OccupyPsyche]

@SAVETHECHILDREN6592 what are you talking about? Anyone anywhere can do this that is the point.

[pauleypauleypauley]

monsanto is probably trying to figure out a way to have this video removed

@pauleypauleypauley so share share share!!!!!

[robyrakesh]

awesome !!!!

(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;

@tanyageyer1 what are you talking about??

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.

[singlechopstick]

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.

[MrHendo100]

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.

[LondonLeon]

@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.

[MrHendo100]

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!!!!

[jcf005]

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

[MrHendo100]

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!

[ErikKiliam]

@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?

[cranberryrose55]

As a master gardener trained by CA University Cooperative Extension, 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

[DevilHeadBlackTooth]

This film, permaculture, and GLOBAL WARMING ARE ALL FALSE!!

[dailydols]

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".

[711Seeker]

Sepp's the man!

[wlodzio47]

Still I cant imagine how to make living doing everything by hands.

4 months vegetation time is to short for hands work.

[OneHectare]

5 dislikes? seems Monsanto & the Food Frankensteins are also watching...

[TheGregH67]

the film says he did this before the word "permaculture" as a marketing term was even dreamed up.



[lykopis]

Marry me, Sepp Holzer~! :o)

[SovereignBeing]

great idea, lets imagine this model in every small town, everywhere,, no more corps, no more gmo, back to nature, back to treating the earth and food with respect..!

[vutEwa]

@SovereignBeing I like that dream!

[SovereignBeing]

@vutEwa well help make it reality, by focussing on what we want ,instead of what we dont.!

[vutEwa]

@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.

[SovereignBeing]

@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

[trajke]

yes i agree but at the first we must change a scollar system, becouse is that who guide us for doing the oposit of Holzer. I know becouse i leave on the farm and we cant grow vegetables without poisoning them. That is our system our farmers dont know others sistems but if wee teech them how to listen the nature they will do this.

=)

[ase010]

There is nothing new in fact about perma-culture itself, cause natives have used it for aeons! its the only way of life for self-sustainable. Nature is pureness, heart-mind-fullness and harmonizing.

[mrbeam123]

Sepp Holzer didnt tell the truth ! He´s a liar. Search : Jena Hof

[Greysage]

I searched Jena Hof, I couldn't find anything. There are a lot of Jena Hof, and a lot of them were in another language that I can't read. Do you have a URL that you can recommend? I love to hear other ideas for sustainability.

[ladylillycroft]

@mrbeam123 why is he a liar??

[wlodzio47]

@mrbeam123 Can you expand a little your opinion about Holtzer please.

[beachcomber2008]

Short, but sweet. :)

[AfricanCentreforCom]

Sepp Holzer, Africa needs your great works too. This serves as an official e-invitation. Keep up.

[Snurdgerbly]

AfricanCentreforCom, you can also contact Geoff Lawton, of the Permaculture Research Institute of Australia. He has projects running in Africa and the Middle East. See also his video "Greening the Desert" on the Jordan project.

[nischau]

This is THE future of mankind. It's very important to spread permaculture arround the world. Sepp is truly an inspiration, he figured it out and did on its own! That's amazing.

[mrbeam123]

@nischau It´s very important that you go to school to learn the difference between truth and lie.

[pdsavage]

@mrbeam123

you keep saying its a lie,what is a lie?

Give me some facts....

[mrbeam123]

Sorry, but cant you think by your self ? Search Jena Hof

[rich0292]

@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?

[PreservingLiberty]

Combine these two elements and the trends Juan talks about will no longer matter and evolution of man will redirect into a far more superior being coexisting with nature/God on the most intellectual way.

[PreservingLiberty]

#1) Permaculture Design: The fundamental course of man is to be the intermediary between nature and innovation using critical thinking to reason between the two.

* ( Permaculture creates the base for government to dissolve and free markets to flourish )

#2) Fee Market Economics: Exponential growth on behalf of creative destruction allowing humans to evolve much more rapidly without the inhibition of government.

I HAVE ONLY TOUCHED ON THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG SO PLEASE DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH OR ORDER BILL MOLLISON'S BOOK.

IF YOU WANT TO GET OUT OF THIS COUNTRY AND START A PERMACULTURE FARM KEEP IN TOUCH * edit * reply

Pseudo Technological and Economic TRENDS of our modern era are the result of human influence on nature not the other way around.

Permaculture is a farming methodology that the ancients used before flat land farming. It allows a farmer to create an ecosystem that harvests itself with no work and only grows bigger after being established. Every farm provides the farmer with all the food, water, shelter, and most important ENERGY the farmer needs. A quarter acre of land can provide for a family of four.

[momentinpassing]

But a troll like Goldman Sachs or Monsanto can't take a big fat toll on farms that enhance the health of the environment and people. Farms that provide enhanced security of food, water, and jobs. The environment, both literally and figuratively, has to be in turmoil, the individuals future uncertain, their state of mind stressed, so that they can be exploited. That is why people adhere to synthetic systems of thought and behavior. They've been trained to, to benefit the trolls.

[reallygreatlife]

There are many places in the US that have started and are trying to start permaculture places to live, research and do work on a permaculture farm, help out these people who are stewards of earth, it is the blueprint of nature.

[KnightBiologist]

This is great YouTube content. Very inspiring; even though I have a tiny yard space, I still grow fresh greens to supplement my groceries. Catching rainwater has helped alot too.

Sometimes, you just gotta start small.

[itsumonihon]

does anyone know how he came up with all the money to buy all that land? i'd love to do something like this but owning 3 hectares of land does not seem like something i'll ever be able to afford

[PakaNoHida]

land isn't that expensive, what is expensive is the time.. and the local regulations for putting a house on said land.

All this is doable if people just go out and try... as with most things in life.

[itsumonihon]

maybe cheap for you but 3 hectares around where i am is millions of dollars

[PakaNoHida]

You don't need 3 hectacres to do permaculture, people are doing on 1/5th of an acre world wide now.

[screwoffreg]

this blows

[fbt2007]

Wonderful video. Wonderful philosophy .

Thanks for posting it. 5 Stars!!!

[funnyguise]

get this man back in the states before GMO crops ruin everything.

[gavachasd]

Permaculture is the answer to many issues. I wish America would wake up. They just want to keep working "jobs" and buying at groceries. It;s sad. People here have such a rich, fertile country. I have been looking for some investor or donated land here in Phoenix to make a go at the permaculture here

[mrsmathewes]

Yeah, people need "jobs" because people won't just donate land or use the money from their own "jobs" to pay from someone else to do this.

[ThoughtCriminal911]

Outstanding

[cyclesofchange]

This is the answer to many, many, if not all of our current global issues.

[digitalstress]

Great Man, with a great gift!

[ouijaboy666]

Its not a gift; he earned that knowledge

[LogicHead]

ouijaboy666,

My interpretation of what digitalstress was saying is that he has a gift to share with the world. It is the knowledge. When he shares his knowledge with even one other person, he is gifting it to that other person.

Yes, he did also invest his time and effort to obtaining it.

Regards.

[hananokuni2580]

Sepp Holzer is many times richer than most billionaires, albeit not in monetary terms.

[chelpydog]

An awsome vid!!!People have messed with nature in pursuit of more money.Huge factory farms and mass land clearing in order to feed the urban population have taken a high toll on our planet.All farmers can benefit from this video and maybe we can start to reverse the negative effects we have had on mother earth.Peace.

[TheSolidGloryisJesus]

Sepp work is amazing; what wisdom.

[andina26]

Has anyone adopted permaculture on this scale in England? Especially Kent?

[billybbob18]

Exactly!

Nature balances itself.

If you fight nature, then it will fight you.

Nature always wins. We should harness the natural way of things so the both man and nature can become one. That is the ONLY true and sustainable way to go about business.

Everyone benefits when nature is allowed to prevail. Now I've never been a left wing environmentalist type, but it is only logical to believe that everything has its place. David Blume's "Alcohol Can Be a Gas" is something you should look at cont...

[billybbob18]

This book shows you how to harness nature in a way to produce both fuel and food from a plant which actually helps the environment. You can make a continuous alcohol still that runs on hydro electricity. Permaculture is the future, and I believe that the first step is to quit taking oil out of the ground. That book shows how to convert raw sewage into usable alcohol fuel. Alcohol running in an engine will make the smog tester scratch his head..."why aren't the needles moving?!" NO POLLUTION BABY

[odin422]

the future right here

[scrumptiousvittles]

Crazy Shit.

Tell everyone you know.

Holzer has proven that permaculture is a more than viable alternative.

[ageya123]

This seems to be a great way to grow food. Mister Sepp Holzer I would like to be init

[ageya123]

Isn't it time to create a government in wartime, as it seems that is were the world is in at this moment. In the aerya of food/water/medicine/use of knowledge it seems all decicions are made bij people, in governments and companies, who act as if they are in war with eachother and the planet.

Who likes to volenteer?

[theBITCHINgummybear]

hey my great grandfathers name is sepp holzer he blew his leg off in ww2 i think

[itsumonihon]

way to respect your ancestors and those who fought in the war. moron.

[Permaculturebella]

Great to see this online at last. First saw this at the Permaculture Convergence about ten years ago. Thanks for posting, inspirational Permaculture at it's best.
