Website/blog of a guy in southern England trying living only on wild food...

Also, how mushrooms can save the world...

Farming with terraces in Austria - very inspiring!

Hello all

Some of you may have become familiar with this guy through a video that Nick was sharing. I have only now got round to watching that video. This is most amazing. Have likewise been reading Fukuoka again. If you have never read 'One Straw Revolution', it is highly recommended. Reason I decided to do the course at Emerson was to learn about traditional European farming techniques. Nonetheless, I was always conscious throughout the course that little attention was given to newer, alternative approaches, which suggests to me that the Biodynamic 'movmenent' is operating in a bit of a limiting paradigm. There is no reason why the understanding of life forces got from BD cannot be combined with the understanding of ecosystems got from natural farming/permaculture. I for one would have liked more on insects in the course (of course no time blah blah). But anyway it's up to us to pioneer this territory. I have met up with some people that will be starting a project growing grains without machinery here in the west of Ireland. The real question is why not?

Anyway these links are much recommended...
