Habitat includes humans, too. Our habitat includes the familiar - villages and rural communities, cities and suburbs. We are now at a point where we can develop these habitats in one of two ways. The old way, using resources as if they were limitless and disposing of them as if the earth's capacity to mop up the waste was also limitless, or in a new way in which we use our ingenuity to limit this impact. The value is the same whether we are working with rich or poor communities. Earthship Biotecture is one outcome of this new thinking.
Intensive farming monocultures are not only energy intensive but immensely inefficient, yielding only six units of energy for every 15 expended in production.
Agro-ecological farming
Intercropping not only maintains biodiversity but has multiple systemic benefits, from protecting against pests and disease to maximising synergistic properties.
