Hi-ho Superforest! So my good friends Jackson Nash and Jesse Carmichael have started a permaculture farm in Hawaii and it is breathtaking.  The short definition of permaculture is: Farming land in a way that maximizes productivity and minimizes effort by using the terrain, plants and animals in natural ways that all benefit each other exponentially.  Essentially, you set up a system where most of the work happens with little human interference.   It makes sense…think of all the natural biodiversity in the world that occurs without us:  Bees pollinate flowers and make honey, ducks freely give their droppings to the fish below them, chickens control weeds and bugs while providing eggs and fertilizer…and on and on.  I guess permaculture is just a way of replicating systems that occur in nature already…and the goal is always abundance.   To see what’s happening at Zero One (the name of their farm), check out Jackson’s really cool blog SUPERFOREST.ORG.      http://teamsuperforest.org/superforest/author/jackson/
