This is exactly what can feed the planet. At present 60% of our food comes from smallholder farmers, we need to continue growing these modules of biodiversity that support environment and our communities. The UN support this concept, as does FAO (this is the international year of family farming launched by FAO to create awareness for this method of farming) Greenpeace have also produced an excellent report that underpins this concept. I have a very siimilar set up to Sebastian in central Italy, we are always happy to welcome people who want to come and learn and have a holiday in glorious Italy to boot! | This is exactly what can feed the planet.

Nicely made. Linda Woodrow wrote a great book on the mandala system with chicken domes in 1995??? called "The Permaculture Home Garden". Hers was more complex/integrated than the one shown here but essentially the same She included fruit trees between the circular bed, timed to leave waste fruit behind as the chicken tractor approached; perennials around the outside, and spots for compost heaps etc. Also pond in the middle as Purple Pear has. | |||
