[@brianNYC546]

I've never seen Geoff in a suit, short hair, and mustache before. How cool!

[@colly7963]

Gosh, I never realised that Geoff was once young...lol

[@etienne_oosthuizen]

haha

[@gor4988]

He's even younger now Hahaha

[@BassPlayer0815]

Love to come back to this video every now and then

[@tobiaswhittaker7462]

If you had have told me this is the content I CHOOSE to watch only 4 years after dropping out of high school on my own accord I would have laughed at you now you'd ask me the best place to put a swale and i'll go get the mattock and A-frame...

[@thitranlanh4290]

Excellent lecture Geoff, understandable for our key farmer to practice in their farming

[@ienca27]

please translate if you find useful!

[@thangarasuappavoo3999]

This lesson should be a must for all , especially students to ensure that all of us appreciate the damage done to our environment and help overturn for a sustainable future for all living and non-living things

[@anderssryanssons]

What kind of non living things were you thinking about? It also a matter of survival and having the privilege to feel abundance at some point in our life

[@musiCluster2]

This is a very imprtant and excellent wrap-up what pretty much all of the industrialized agriculture is doing! I Dunno when was that but I guess it's good 20+ years old...and its still practiced like that despite gigantic consequences. Thanks to the uploader and Mr. Lawton! I Wish there would be the whole lecture!

[@BetterDeadThanRed99]

It amazes me - that with all the colossal failures of industrialized agriculture in the 20th century - that people are still repeating the same mistakes (and compounding them) in the 21st century. Too little organic matter - too many synthetic fertilizers - mono-cultures that lack biological diversity - slash and burn farming practices... but the absolute worst of all these things... drum roll please... *human sewage* ! This one thing has the potential to change everything. If the world stopped using modern sewage treatment systems and dry composted their waste instead- we would create enough organic matter to terraform the worlds deserts and actually change global climate patterns. We can terraform deserts into lush rainforests. The most fertile soil on Earth was created in this way - the "terra preta" soil of the Amazon. Today it is mined and sold to local farmers in places like Brazil - who pay a hefty price for their ancestors compost... meanwhile, they adopt our modern sewage treatment and building codes. Isn't that ironic? We humans have found a way to remove ourselves from nature almost entirely - while we excavate the feces of our ancestors for commercial profit. We embalm our dead with toxic fluids so they can go on display for a few days... and then poison the Earth when they're finally buried. The whole thing is an analogy of our self-destructive, disconnected behavior. If we continue down this path - then the Earth has already exceeded its maximum population density. But if we challenge our own deeply held prejudices and cultural customs - we can easily support a human population in excess of ~25 billion people without any problems. "Overpopulation" is merely a product of our inability to coexist symbiotically with nature... it is entirely a human construct. And remember this: "every parasite was once a failed symbiont." -Mother Nature

Thanks for posting Interesting watching his earlier presentations

[@damiangaray3625]

Apparently he was always a great teacher. It relates formidably what I see in my country, Argentina. Spoiler, the use of herbicides increases exponentially

[@martysgarden]

Onya brother your a champion explaining this via video!

[@mbahmarijan789]

Thanks for the lesson Mr. Lawton, greetings from Indonesia

[@anderssryanssons]

Wow, this teaching is soo powerful. Where could we get the complete version?

[@Goodtimes523]

Hi there where did you find this I appreciate it because I saw this a couple of years ago as a full course can’t find it anymore thank you

[@zoesmith1536]

Good video, keep the good work up! I learnt a lot fro you. I am everyday gardener that takes interest in soil and the plant ecosystem.

[@piknikist]

i have never seen Jeff in that way!!...love it haha

[@Goodtimes523]

The whole course used to be available on You Tube now only a few classes here and there. I’d love to see it all again, do you know if it’s still around?

[@ubredebremaafaka]

Am I the only one who sees the resemblance to Nikola Tesla? xD

[@scotts1008]

Only this is beneficial to everyone plus increases health and not just share holder speculation

Awesome session, thankyou.

Awesome. The reality of vicious cycle of NPK.... etc etc. Let the nature take it's course.

Thanks for this video

[@michaelm9621]

Wonderful lecture

[@oiduzaid711]

I'm looking for a full conference

[@bonzothebrown7603]

You can find audio of the whole course by searching 'permaculture' or 'PDC' with soulseek.

[@seahorsesalt4386]

Wow, mind blowing

[@adiptapradhana9604]

Do anybody here have the complete lecture video?

[@sjk7314]

Nothing could be worse than Geoff Lawton with a good haircut, a snappy 'stache, and a suitcoat.

[@TinaShay]

Great info!

[@Nemesis_T_Type]

Seems like the modern farming method is planned out by Monsanto. Buy their fertilizer and eventually you buy their insecticides, fungicide and herbicide.

[@TmTNaturalFarming]

Where I see more videos from him

[@damiangaray3625]

Does anyone know if there is a video of the entire class?

[@platypus6523]

Yes in the PDC I think, www.udemy.com/course/permaculture-design-course/ probably in the "Soils" section

[@hypeogaming8600]

awesome!! thanks

[@anoopbs211]

Where can I find the full video..?

[@freezkeer]

i think this applies to so many other things, from our own physical and mental health and modern society. using artificial means to try and improve natural systems to feed our fears and greed.

[@mikeeureka2171]

I love weeds they are loaded with nutrients like Lambs Quarter and Dandelions I grow and eat them takes NO work !
