300 Year Old Food Forest in Vietnam

http://www.ecofilms.com.au This is one of the little extras on the DVD title "Establishing a Food Forest" with Permaculture teacher Geoff Lawton. Whilst Geoff was in Vietnam he discovered a 300 year old Food Forest built on 2 acres of land and still functioning well in the same family 28 generations later.

Haha! Hey, I'm American, and I have no problem with your humor. I just wish the evil bastards who have been running my country hadn't gone all over the planet destroying lives and ecosystems for the past 100 years- I can't afford to "travel", and thanks to the reputation of "Americans", I can't go work on a farm somewhere beautiful like this.

History is written by the victors, and many average people just want the truth! Facts are wealth, propaganda is debt!

I like how there is a hit-and-run in the background as he says "happy accident" at about 45 .. @0:44

My property is four acres of bullshit pain in the ass lawn and shrubbery. You've truly inspired me to change my yard into something useful, sustainable, productive, and low maintenance...

@dlcpereira I can agree on green energy. I would venture that nuclear power is the way to go given current technology (heavily regulated of course) but I have a feeling you would rule that out on principal. Certainly if we invest in high energy, weather independent, green energy (such as the elusive nuclear fusion) we may have something that is 'green' AND realistic. Of course, that will require R&D (Possibly $trillions of it) but I support that.
