Global Gardener

Synopsis: For nearly two decades Bill Mollison has travelled the globe spreading the word about permaculture (permanent agriculture), the method of sustainable agriculture that he devised. Permaculture weaves together microclimate, annual and perennial plants, animals, soils, water management and human needs into intricately connected productive communities. Mollison has proved that even in the most difficult conditions permaculture empowers people to turn wastelands into food forests.
This tape consists of a series of four half-hour programmes, each looking at examples in different bioregions:

IN THE TROPICS - Mollison introduces the basic principles of permaculture, and shows results in Australia, India, and Zimbabwe.

ARID LANDS - Reversing desertification in Arizona, Botswana and Australia.

COOL CLIMATES - Europe, Tasmania, and the San Juan Islands in Washington State.

URBAN - New York City and Harare, Zimbabwe.
