Greening the Desert

This is one amazing piece of film.  I first watched this over a year ago and have felt inspired ever since.  Australian Permaculture expert, Jeff Lawton, travelled to the middle east and tackled the challenging problem of desertification.  Using Permaculture practices, Lawton incorporated a simple irrigation system to a desert area and planted native draught tolerant plants to the area.  The result of his work in this arid desert is amazingly a strip of edible forest and eventually the growth of mushrooms.  As Lawton said "You can solve all the worlds problems in a garden. "  I think he's right.
