Herein I read a wide range of my favorite excerpts from The Burning Earth: 500 Year s of Environmental History written by a Yale professor Sunil Amrith, a 2024 publication. Very readable !...an erudite and articulate book. Spanning from early agrarian societies and the transition from Nomadic lifestyles to sedentary more rice and grain based agriculture. The book dives in depth into China, India and Russian histories with a powerful writing style that carries us all the way into contemporary times. Sunil Amrith observes sweeping and insightful patterns of history , tying together vast swaths of time and ecological relationships, distilling them to poignant and important connections. Please listen as we go from early civilizations to colonialism, sugar, WW I - tanks vs. horses, WW II - chemicals and industrialization, wrapping with the green revolution, India and modern global food issues and ideas.

Syntropic Agroforestry with Erik Schellenberg Erik and I go in depth into his journey to Permaculture, what works and what doesn't when we land the plane of Permaculture gardening methods, on a given site. Erik takes us on his travels to Brazil in search of truly viable ,high production methods of farming with tree crops and what he calls 4 dimensional systems. Erik gives a clear and concise comparison of Syntropic Agroforestry, it's origins and founders, and what he's gained from it. We compare Forest Gardening, Biodynamics and Syntropic methods and discuss deep design topics of where permaculture's place is, in this constellation of concepts and ideas, as an umbrella organizing principle that ties together all these techniques with the overarching focus on creating sustainable designs for human settlements.
Adam Lavendar ,my Permaculture apprentice this season, and I ,discuss my book Earth Is Our Home and his take aways from it, Urban applications of Permaculture, and Permaculture education. Adriana joins us part way through, for a discussion on protein that heads into a piece on how the industrialization of everything is the root of many of the problems we are all faced with in these times. We wrap up with discussing closed loop systems and inclusive community based design solutions.
Such a gem of a gentleman! Sit back and enjoy this candid frolicking conversation with a dear colleague who's work I have admired for decades. Apologies for how low the volume is on my voice you will hear Lee beautifully. Lee Barnes wrote the Permaculture Principles document that Peter Bane and Chuck Marsh gave us in 1996 at The Farm for my PDC. I use them in my courses to this day, 29 years later! Lee is good friends with Chuck, who died way too young, and Peter Bane ,who keeps on trucking and inspiring waves of budding Permaculture Designers, you will hear us explore all of Lee's passions and ongoing work. Lee says Bioregions are our life place and Permaculture provides the solutions needed for each Bioregion. Lee is in the Katuah Bioregion , Helene handed them a serious weather disaster that they will be rebuilding from with Permaculture in mind and Lee's dowsing intuition to help guide the energy. https://pcx.earth/ https://pcx.earth/disaster/
