If people want to look to growing the fuel they need to look to another source other than Corn. It's irresponsible to use our food supply for a fuel. There are other options for example switch grass that is not used for food. But I still hold the idea that all fuels are doing is postponing the inevitable. We need to get back to a close living lifestyle. We need to stop commuting so much and begin to produce our own food and foster communities locally.

nice, but will not some draft animals be available for the population to work with? and more, the succesful agriculture, i think, is a combination of animal and plant life. wouldn't it be useful to manure it with pig chicken or rabbit manure too? it's hard to believe people in the future will rely ONLY on plants for food. i mean, no matter how small a farm, a few chickens and rabbits will be on it.

USE THE BIOFUEL IN A WALK BEHIND TILLER, LESS TIME BEAT YOURSELF AND MORE TIME TENDING CROPS AND GREATLY INCREASE FOOD PRODUCTION.

I would think that someone else would have dealt with the problem of human powered primary and secondary tillage. the Glaser Wheel Hoe is designed for weed kill in pre tilled ground. The Elliot Coleman broadfork is designed for aeration in pretilled ground. Jason you may have to design new heavy duty equipment if you dont want to disturb soil structure . Most people in this situation use a pick, or adz for primary tillage and hoe for secondary.

No fruit trees here?

They've put in several young fruit trees -- we didn't talk about them much in the video, I think there is a photo. The trees are near the edge of the property fence, near the indigenous trees.

I asked one of the permaculturists I know, but since YouTube makes it pretty hard to add urls in these comments, I'll reply at our website at peakmoment(.)tv/conversations/?p=87. Thanks for asking!
