Permaculture Farming

Archive for June, 2008

Question: How do we create a sustainable, advanced economy for the future?

Today’s industrial economy is based upon explointing labor, natural resources, and the environment as a whole. Today’s farming is based upon degrading the land and water for high yields. Neither industry nor farming have much regard for whether their methods can be sustained long-term. The future is at stake.

Clearly, we must re-focus our efforts toward a more-responsible economy and lifestyle, but this re-focusing will cost plenty. Volunteering to give up the wasteful methods that produce cheap goods and cheap food won’t be an easy pill to swallow for the American populace, where bigger has always been considered better. It’s counter to our sense of “progress.”

How do we convince our populace that this must be done or risk our long-term survival as a nation and people of this smaller-and-smaller earth?

How do we convince others to make the same sacrifices, especially those such as India and China just on the cusp of traditional economic wealth?

Answer: I don’t know if you can convince someone… it takes longer (and more money) to do something the right way… more money equals higher taxes… it seems like most people don’t care about the “right way” to do things.. only the cheap way…

I just hope the earth is more resilient than we think…

This link contains a question that contains my photos. Look at all the vegetation. Nature heals itself. Just as a quiz how many plants/herbs do you recognize and can use? Only the trees are planted, the pond dug and contours dug. Better than concrete or a flat featureless cow field?
