By using the principles of
permaculture design, Jonathan and co-author Eric Toensmeier created a
thriving edible ecosystem from a blighted dead landscape. Enjoy learning
about our delicious uncommon fruit and perennial vegetables, a
year-round food bioshelter greenhouse, raising micro-livestock like
black soldier flies and aquaponic fish, using microclimates for growing
figs and kiwis, starting a successful backyard plant nursery (www.foodforestfarm.com),
and enjoying the cornucopia with friends and family. Jonathan will
present his challenge-to-opportunity story through vibrant pictures and
enlightening discussion.
