Hello , if possible could you share the design of permaculture farm aswell which would act as a guide to people who are new to permaculture like myself cause i believe design is the most important thing in permaculture to make it sustainable

I was going to do this right out of high school, or grade 12. Had the money saved for a good start. Then reality, life, and others' expectations started to set in on me. So I went to college to do the "correct" thing. My life is a wreck now. Follow your gut instinct. Don't let others sway your opinion if you are set on what YOU want to do. The world needs more of these types of human habitats. May the creator and company bless you all.

[@staceyford6733]

Expectations of others mess things up something awful!

[@gloriaj8254]

It's never too late! I gladly listened to my gut and decided not to go to college and start a permaculture farm but it wasn't easy especially because of the expectations of other people and the fear that I won't be taken seriously. I wish everyone could just do whatever they want without this stupid fear.

[@MO-np8do]

@@gloriaj8254 You are absolutely correct. It is never too late. I've been working at it. The Dream is always alive.

[@MO-np8do]

@@staceyford6733 They definitely can. I hope people can, take things as they come, more naturally.

[@keywinhomes8969]

Education does not always means expensive college degrees but what you can apply. If you like permaculture then visit local permaculture farms and networks. Finance small property and scale small to large. I work as lender and handling loan for small farm and residential.

Omg we are all wasting our lives. Thank you thank you Happen Films for showing us an alternative to how we were raised and told what to value - the 9-5, consuming , money, the grind etc. Absolutely this is what we should all be doing. How wonderful it would be to live sustainably and as a community sharing our resources.

[@somnyad]

10:58 "We don't need huge numbers of people to change behavior, to make a big impact. That, I think, has always been underestimated." Great statement. It reminds me of Pam Warhurst and the Incredible Edible Network's idea that small actions matter. Let's start, each of us, today.

[@davej7458]

@Was Guilty If you realy do effectively operate a small farm you should already know some things. Not every one is a farmer or will farm. OK your right. Big busness farming is destructive to the land and environment. It is wasteful of resources. It relies on huge energy inputs to operate. When farms are monopolized, the people have little choice but to pay what is asked and eat whatever is avalable. Not good. Family farming is good for all of us but is being discouraged. Look at Urban Growth Boundaries in Oregon. No land evaluation was made. Some of the best farm land became subdivisions and malls. Every few years some more of the best farm land is added to the urban growth areas. Much of the less valuable for farming land can't be used for homes, it's outside an arbitrarily boundry. If you do have farm land you can't live on it unless you make what the government thinks is enough money to justify it. That is the effective end of new small famliy farms as the existing farms go large land owners.

[@ster2600]

@Was Guilty but you can live a much lower impact life without farming everything. Not everyone should farm, but we need to stop the endless consumerism

[@oasisecovillage991]

Every little act counts, it is the thoughts behind it that makes it powerful.

The best at min. 3:40 is something you can do right away: dishrack over sink, dishes dripping go directly to rack where they will dry after they are washed. So intelligent.

[@javiercarrera6092]

I agree: Social Permaculture is the most important field to develop right now. Most of the technical aspects we have already dealt with. The thing now is how we get this to the public.

[@demetriusm8221]

There is pent up demand for this. It's truly a matter of awareness and offering "samples" of a healthier, more fulfilling alternative lifestyle. I can feel my blood pressure falling as I watch this. lol

[@mradziko]

How old are they?

[@juliejenkins2376]

Are they a couple? If so, I hope she's actually older and doesn't just look older. That would suck. When I was younger I used to love it when people said I looked older than I was. Especially when I could drink in the pub at 16 (they weren't strict about ID back then.) and people thought I was 18. However, now that I'm 52, looking older than what you are is most definitely not fun!

[@oasisecovillage991]

Growing up in Australia, I was fortunate to discover permaculture at a young age. David and Bill Mollison were the founding fathers of permaculture. Their wisdom and foresight has benefited and inspired so many.

[@Tiffany-Rose]

I'm always amazed how much food can be grown on a relatively small chunk of land. Also how diverse you can make it with planning and care. What a beautiful property ❤️

[@afrizak]

I feel so emotional watching this couple. They epitomise human grace which seems buried right now as we are going through a transition in our world. I know everything will rebalance itself very soon and we can start enjoying times like this once again. Goals for me!!!

[@acornhomestead3575]

Goals for me too!

[@pennyplant4940]

It takes a long time to get to this point and we could all learn from their lessons. Everyone can apply permaculture principles in their living space, even in inner city areas. A pot of veges, growing on the balcony, is a start. Some herbs growing on your window sill. Watercress growing in your bathroom. It will bring you joy !

[@SherryStrongOne]

I had the pleasure of hanging out with Su and David my last year living in the country north of Melbourne. We met at an event we were speaking at and immediately were drawn to each other's work and perspective. I have so much admiration and respect for their work and how they live it.

[@mradziko]

How old are they?

[@Benyack]

Seeing the comments of this type of videos always make me wanna cry and this one got me to. You can feel the power of unity being those principles and how it touches ourselves at the deepest of our beings and our needs. Love and cooperation between different species and state of beings is possible and its so wonderful to have a taste of it! Imagining this can grow more and more into something virtuous for the world and our evolution gives me such an intense feeling... Thank you so much for sharing this experience! 🙏
