In small European villages like the one I just visited in Bavaria, Haag an der Amper, the farmers do not generally sit in the middle of their land the way American farmers do. Since time immemorial, they have huddled together for protection, living with their animals… Full Story »

Why Permaculture Design? | Verge Permaculture
www.vergepermaculture.ca via @lucasgonzalez &bull Jul 31, 2010Peak Oil, loss of diversity, species extinction, conspiracy, oil spills, food insecurity ....
