Join Geoff Lawton as he visits a burgeoning food garden project in the subtropics of Cape Byron, Australia, spearheaded by Dave Rastovich and his wife, Lauren. Witness the initial stages of transforming a neglected landscape into a productive, community-focused food system designed to feed eight local families. Discover how permaculture principles, including earthworks that harmonize with the land's natural contours and strategic water harvesting, are being implemented to localize food production, improve community health, and regenerate the ecology of a twice-logged and burnt site. The video highlights the practical application of Lidar and satellite GIS technology in designing contour garden beds and footpaths, demonstrating how to work with natural patterns to reduce labor and maximize yield.
