I just recently discovered permaculture and have found it to be the answer to my prayers. I do not want to lose my 5th generation farm here in ND by not taking it over after my father retires in 20 years, but I didn't want to be involved in the big agribusiness and monsanto, if I can figure everything out, I think permaculture will prevent that from happening. Permaculture makes more sense to me than anything in the world. It has the potential to rebuild forests, regreen our planet, end world hunger, and lead to new innovations in housing and alternative energy. So far I love every bit of it and I am looking forward to planting my own permaculture garden!
