Permaculture Healing the Earth, Feeding People
In 2004, Perrine and Charles Hervé-Gruyer founded the Ferme du Bec Hellouin in Haute-Normandie, France, which has become a benchmark in natural agriculture. The farm's results - abundant, high-quality harvests, obtained thanks to the sun's energy and the principle of permaculture - astound agronomists. A study carried out in partnership with eminent researchers demonstrates the social, economic and ecological relevance of permaculture farming. Using nature as a model, it could well be the source of millions of jobs. This book is the story of a family who, in just a few years, succeeded in building an oasis of life on marginal land. But it's also a vast investigation carried out around the globe to meet the men and women who are designing a new way of farming in the 21st century, questioning current farming methods, and thus inventing the world of tomorrow.
