SUBSCRIBE: WWW.EARTHREPAIRRADIO.COM In this episode we hear firsthand about the ongoing grassroots transformation of a Jordanian village into a resilient food and water secure settlement. Elham Abbadi has been working within her village and the surrounding region with a group of women since 2012 to bring back regenerative agricultural practices to an area that has lost their traditional "permaculture" practices for only a couple of generations. Elham explains the history of her village and how they went from diverse regenerative systems into a vast monoculture of Olive trees, and are now bouncing back to a diversity of food crops, a rich ecosystem, and restoring watersheds. This is an inspirational story of how an indigenous culture that has been led astray by industrial agriculture can use permaculture design to recalibrate their practices and restore their traditional sustainable ways.
