Permaculture - the better organic


Michael Pollan's book "The Omnivores Dilemma" first introduced this concept to me... .and then it was refreshed with his TED video
http://www.ted.com/index.php/talks/michael_pollan_gives_a_plant_s_eye_view.html

Editorial: The video starts slow but ends with a high-note about Permaculture... ( I loved this graphic from Wikip - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Permamandala.png

And do read this article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permaculture

A wonderful model for future agriculture.

PS: If you can make the time, try out this 2 hour debate between Michael and John M (CEO of Wholefoods) WARNING: Contains about 5 mins of shocking slaughterhouse video.
