Founded in Australia, Permaculture takes organic agriculture to the next level, harmony with nature, food self sufficiency, collaboration, can turn barren land into oasis, conditions for war turned into conditions for peace and cooperation, and yes, the desert turned into an Eden, a food garden, a garden of plenty. Watch this, probably the best short intro to Permaculture, featuring Geoff Lawton and filmed around 2007, and just look how much they accomplished even then!

And to be inspired at what you can (or at least can be) accomplished? Watch!
