Farming without Oil - Natural World

Category: Documentary
Description:
A Farm for the Future part of the Natural World series: 14/16. Rebecca Hosking investigates low-energy farming that does not rely on fossil fuels. Shown: 20 Feb 2009 BBC Two In summary, practical permaculture, involving reconstitution and preservation of natural habitat, including hedgerows, where there is biodiversity and interacting "layers" of flora and fauna that pass down nutrients between levels, and bugs and earthworms that naturally till the soil, result in a fertile and high-yielding crop ecosystem, that is more productive than conventional agriculture; and all of this without oil or other artificial energy inputs. Inspiring stuff - touching on peak oil, permaculture, forest gardening - and the work of Arthur Hollins. Puts the case that sustainable farming is possible - if we turn our back on the established wisdoms that are increasingly killing the vitality of the soil. Great wisdom here Enjoy!

[Permaculture] Bill Mollison - Global Gardener Series 1-4

Category: Documentary
Description:
Permaculture helps people turn wastelands into food forests. BILL MOLLISON is a practical visionary. For nearly two decades he has traveled the globe spreading the word about permaculture, the method of sustainable agriculture that he devised. Permaculture weaves together microclimate, annual and perennial plants, animals, soils, water management and human needs into intricately connected productive communities. Mollison has proved that even in the most difficult conditions permaculture empowers people to turn wastelands into food forests. -- GLOBAL GARDENER is a series of four half-hour programs on one tape. Each episode looks at examples in different bioregions: -IN THE TROPICS - Mollison introduces the basic principles, and shows results in Australia, India, and Zimbabwe. -ARID LANDS - Reversing desertification in Arizona, Botswana and Australia. -COOL CLIMATES - Europe, Tasmania, and the San Juan Islands in Washington State. -URBAN - New York City and Harare, Zimbabwe. This video teaches not how to do it, but how to think about doing it.
