Monoculture farming works against nature, takes more energy and
inputs, and produces concentrated and often toxic wastes. Over
time, resources are depleted and yields decline. Polyculture
farming systems are integrated, diverse systems which are more
resilient and mimic nature. So-called wastes become resources.
Ecosystems are restored and balanced. Once established, very little
effort is needed to maintain the systems. In this professionally
produced video Mark Shepard takes viewers on a video tour of his
Wisconsin farm and conducts a full-scale introductory presentation
on his unique combination of permaculture, silvaculture,
agroforestry and eco-farming. Understand biomes and how to choose
appropriate crop-producing perennials for your region. See
real-world examples of traditional and innovative modified keyline
water management principles. Experience transitional strategies
firsthand to move from annual commodity crops to perennials which
benefit the entire farm ecosystem.
