Episode-1009- Permaculture Lessons and Observations from 2012

Episode-1009- Permaculture Lessons and Observations from 2012 [ 1:23:25 ] Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Today I want to take a look back at much of what we have learned in regard to permaculture over the mostly now passed year.  In 2012 I attended two major permaculture events, planted over 35 trees, experienced my first full season with hugulkultur beds and more.

I also received huge numbers of questions by email about permaculture that have taught me that many good permaculturists are often lousy at explaining big picture reality, myself included.  To examine that we will discuss the most common question about large scale permaculture I get today.

Join me today as we discuss…

  • What is Permaculture for those new to the concept
  • Why I think we should call most US hugulkultur simply “woody beds”
  • Why I think woody beds work so well and it ain’t what everyone says
  • What we need to start teaching the permaculture youth crowd, reality
  • Why Permaculture courses need the addition of “hard skills”
  • The missed opportunity in small scale urban design
  • Where grain fields fit into the equation
  • How can you practice permaculture/polyculture on a large scale
  • The future of permaculture at the individual level
  • The future of permaculture at the commercial level
  • Why a full working acre may be optimum for small family concerns
  • The animals I see as the “best bets” for working families

Today we Examine the Economics of Farmland

Today we Examine the Economics of Farmland

Aaron Batteen is a full time working student studying economics at Boise State University.

He is also the author of a blog called Laymanomics.com where he breaks down complex economic concepts into every day layman terminology.

Aaron has done extensive research into the economic future of farmland and other productive land as an investment.

Today Arron and I examine this concept from several angles including, institutional investor, small time investor, homesteader, gentleman farmer and several others.

Join Us Today as We Discuss…

  • What’s going on with farmland from an investment stand point
  • How do we determine the value of farmland
  • Why is it a mistake to just say “farmland” as though it is a single commodity
  • What is the future for farmland from a value perspective
  • What makes farmland different from other real estate
  • How can individuals invest in farmland without millions of dollars
  • How is homesteading actually a “investment in productive land”
  • Are we seeing a return of the “gentleman farmer”
  • What are some of the best areas to acquire land
  • What are some of the worst areas to acquire land
  • Is farmland in a bubble or is that an over simplification
