When you are doing work of value, people will support you in a variety of ways, not just money.

I like to talk about the idea of "design without design," where... we're creating the conditions for the things that we want to see happen rather than trying to force a particular set of outcomes.

Agriculture is the process of turning eco-systems into people.

A culture disconnected from wild nature becomes insane.

Vegetarians may be appalled, but much of gardening is actually raising animals: the tiny ones under the earth's surface

I’m going to argue here that the most accurate and least muddled way to think of permaculture is as a design approach, and that we are often misdirected by the fact that it fits into a larger philosophy and movement which it supports. But it is not that philosophy or movement. It is a design approach for realizing a new paradigm.
