Learn how to design and establish a self supporting forest of food in this new film by Geoff Lawton, the Director of the Permaculture Research Institute of Australia.  By understanding the patterns of a natural forest, and the critical functions performed in a forest system, we can imitate how nature repairs itself and create abundance in our own back yards with very little effort.

The principles of a food forest can be applied at any scale, from an urban apartment balcony to a massive farm.  The key to success is intelligent design. Nature is happy to do the work of gardening for us, but as designers, we must give it the tools to do the job.

“A food forest is a permanent, sustainable habitat of mankind… and it will allow us to inhabit the earth forever.”  Geoff Lawton
