Documentary: Thriving 23-Year-Old Permaculture Food Forest – An Invitation for Wildness
My vision is to create my own food forest one day, to leave something behind instead of those footprints we leave behind going no where. We should strive to leave positive footprints behind.
In the small town of Riverton at the bottom of New Zealand’s South Island is Robert and Robyn Guyton’s amazing 23-year-old food forest. The 2-acre property has been transformed from a neglected piece of land into a thriving ecosystem of native and exotic trees where birds and insects live in abundance. Robert and Robyn are a huge inspiration to us, not only for their beautiful approach to healing the land and saving heritage trees and seeds, but for the way they’ve impacted on their local community.
“My philosophy about what to do in the world isn’t ‘go to a pristine area and live there and enjoy your life.’ It’s to find a place that is degraded and fix it up.” – Robert Guyton
What do you think of their permaculture food forest? Would you ever like to live this way?

Must Watch Monsanto GMO Documentary: The Future Of Food 2004
The Future Of Food 2004
THE FUTURE OF FOOD offers an in-depth investigation into the disturbing truth behind the unlabeled, patented, genetically engineered foods that have quietly filled grocery store shelves for the past decade. Mostly coming from Monsanto.
The film voices opinions of farmers in disagreement with the food industry, and details the impacts on their lives and livelihoods from this new technology, and the market and political forces that are changing what people eat. The farmers state that they are held legally responsible for their crops being invaded by “company-owned” genes. The film generally opposes the patenting of living organisms, and describes the disappearance of traditional cultural practices.
Must Watch Documentary: A Simpler Way: Crisis as Opportunity
A Simpler Way: Crisis as Opportunity
About 3 years back I wrote a blog about a new world in our hearts, a vision of a sustainable future which many around the world including myself has woken up to. I awoke to the illusion on front of me. To see the pit trap that is the government and the systems that have shackled us.
There has to be a change in the way we see the world. Here is a great documentary speaking about the vision we share.
About the film
A feature-length documentary directed by Jordan Osmond and Samuel Alexander, A Simpler Way: Crisis as Opportunity takes us to Gippsland, Australia, where residents have fully embraced the notion of a simpler existence far from the maddening crowds and stress-inducing cityscapes. Part of a 12-month experiment known as The Simpler Way Project, the inhabitants of this community all share a common commitment to social change and environmental preservation.
What does it mean to live simply? For this diverse group of conscientious citizens, it means that you reconnect to the natural world, conserve your resources, and peel back the extravagances, economic shackles and unsustainable definitions of success in the modern industrialized world. In their tiny homes hand-crafted from largely recycled materials, they seek the purity that comes from a return to the basics.
A Simpler Way: Crisis as Opportunity follows each step of this fascinating year-long journey, and it’s clear that every challenge faced by this close-knit community has opened a door to revelation. Upon the completion of this project, each of them will take these lessons of simple living back home with them and create a lasting change that reverberates to others.
