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.

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.

@bloodnashes666 It is true that Genetic Modification and Selective Breeding are entirely different fields... However... did you know that 8% of your DNA was inserted by a Virus? Does this make you wholly unnatural and genetically modified? The number varies but this is the case for every living thing on the planet. So is the introduction of DNA from an outside species, not of the same family whatsoever, an unnatural human activity? Its happening to you right now.... We are just more selective...
