Food and Sustainability

In this post I want to comment about a video called "7 Food Forests in 7 minutes with Geoff Lawton", where he shows the connection between agriculture and food.
First, he talks about the importance of organic matter in soil on crops. He says that this soil condition is very important for fast growth and development of plants. Then he shows the different stages of the crop development, growing between native flora of the place. He makes emphasis in the good growth of annual plants in winter and the appropriate growth of roots and nodules in legumes in summer.
Then he shows how a woman carries out hand harvest and finally he shows how he incorporates stubble to return organic matter to the soil.
Well, the video is boring, it does not show new things.

On the order, about the possibility of implement this in Chile I think that every person could make permaculture in his/her own home by promoting self-cultivation, but in Chile there is no education about this.

I leave you this video, what do you think about that?
