a future of possibility Lama Foundation, located in the Mountains of New Mexico is host to Grow Here Now and Build Here Now. Annual workshops which bring together teachers as well as students of sustainability. Join us as we examine "what is permaculture" as we attend the Grow Here Now - Convergence at Lama.
Permaculture is a word originally coined by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren in the mid 1970's to describe an "integrated, evolving system of perennial or self-perpetuating plant and animal species useful to man" 'Consciously designed landscapes which mimic the patterns and relationships found in nature, while yielding an abundance of food, fibre and energy for provision of local needs. People, their buildings and the ways in which they organize themselves are central to permaculture. Thus the permaculture vision of permanent or sustainable agriculture has evolved to one of permanent or sustainable culture.

this is a great thing these people are doing and I fully support them. It makes me think of what our ancient heathen ancestors did in a way, except these people are probably complete pussies and dont have orgies and sacrifice various animals to the gods....... lets grow some balls and make a true paradise! free of religion and generous in love and in our work efforts. im not saying sacrifice tons of animals, lol. i'm just saying too much "love" weakens you so u can't fight evil or evil seeds.
What are your main staples? I reakon I could do that.. I enjoy my chicken snitzels and spaghetti bolognaise tho. lol. My veggie patch could sustain vegetarianism i'd say!
I get a hippie vibe from this video. I like permaculture but do I really have to watch a bunch of people sitting around singing about trees in every video. UGH
Yeh.. it is a little annoying. I'm a gardener and I find the reason I like it so much is because I get to do it ALONE. lol. Sounds selfish..but most people I know have no idea about gardening and don't get why I like it. I pretty much relax in my garden and don't hold peoples hands and sing with them down there..lol
me 2 but being a heathen, i long for a community garden where we all gather and share our love, sing and dance to celebrate the harvest! private gardens like yours and mine are meant for that awesome solitude! u can have both my friend
Although I'm vegetarian since 4 years, and in better shape and health than most meat eaters I Know, I don't believe that all human being should be strickly vegetarian. What about people leaving in cold countries? How to find all proteins and amino acids we need in a place we can't grow naturaly a great diversity of plants? But why waste so much energy in livestocks when we can be healthy in eating something else?
We survive by adapting to the environment, just like all other species. When we try to adapt the environment to ourselves, we cause destruction. We have made that experiment, and the outcome is our current global situation with practically everything we do. There isn't much to learn from modern science or medicine as we have it today. Too much corruption and greed, and the profit is the bottom line, while the human true survival is undermined by that game of fancy paper called money.
I don't have to think about it. What I see is when humans manipulate our environment, we slide to self-destruction. Isn't that already obvious? We have done nothing for the betterment of our race, only ways of destroying it. We've embraced artificial and concocted life-styles, beginning with our diets and choices of production of toxic substances, which we put in our food, medicine, water. With all the technology, we are simply burning our house down. That is not intelligence, that's stupidity.
So, scientifically speaking, humans don't need meat in their diet. The only reason to eat it is a mere choice of taste. This requires a substantial effort to produce and store meat, otherwise, if you don't eat it every day, how would you get it at all? Perhaps raising chicken and killing them every few days could be possible, but to eat beef or stake, you would require electricity to power your freezers. But if one lives naturally, there's no electricity, hence no beef.
