My guest today is Ben Falk. Ben is a really incredible permaculture designer with a comprehensive focus.
Ben runs a planning firm called Whole Systems Design. Through this firm, he “identifies, designs, and develops human habitats – landscape and infrastructure systems – that yield perennial abundance and enduring value. These are adaptive, resilient and secure places in a future of peak oil, climate instability, and deepening economic insolvency.”
They also “plan, develop, and manage land-based wealth preservation and Security projects for those with the forethought to invest an abundance of present day resources to reduce their familly’s vulnerability to future food, energy and other supply-chain disturbances, as well as peak-oil, climatic, economic and other events.”
The interview covers a variety of topics, including:
My favorite quote from the interview: “Don’t fight something that’s wrong. Make a new system that makes the old system obsolete.”
Enjoy!
