Permaculture: Regenerating Our World, One Garden At a Time

Want to live in greater harmony with nature and create a more sustainable future? On this episode, we delve into the fascinating world of permaculture with Suraj, an expert in edible gardens, landscaping, land rehabilitation, and mangrove reforestation.

Suraj shares his journey from conventional farming to embracing permaculture principles. We discuss:

    • What is permaculture and its core principles of Earth Care, People Care, and Fair Share.

    • The environmental impact of conventional agriculture and the importance of regenerative practices.

    • The magic of compost and how to create your own nutrient-rich soil at home.

    • The difference between traditional landscaping and permaculture landscaping, and how to design a garden that mimics natural ecosystems.

    • The importance of mangrove forests, the threats they face, and Suraj's incredible mangrove reforestation work.

    • Practical tips to get started with growing your own food and incorporating permaculture into your life.
