Establishing a Food Forest With Geoff Lawton
Rob Hopkins at Transition Culture posted a review of this instructional video from Geoff Lawton.
Where this film really comes alive is the point when Geoff leaves the classroom and heads outdoors to introduce us to food forests at a range of stages. We see those just being started, as ground is sown with nitrogen fixing plants, to those that are several years old and starting to find their shape, and then to one planted 20 or so years ago which has become a dense forest of fruit and other yields. Geoff comes across in the film as someone who is deeply fired by the potential he has seen in this kind of approach, and its ability to offer us food, and a lot more besides.
It sounds like a fantastic instructional (and inspirational) film. Here’s the trailer:
You can order the film directly from the Permaculture Institute of Austraila.
