How to Make Your Property Fire Resistant with Permaculture Design

To learn more about permaculture watch the Permaculture Masterclass, a 4-part documentary-style film, here: discoverpermaculture.com/a/12454/e3i2ci3L.

Many people have asked how Zaytuna Farm is going with this year's wildfire season and the 2019/2020 drought. In this video, Geoff gives us an update and offers his top five permaculture design principles that help make Zaytuna Farm drought-proof and fire-resistant.

Editors note: since filming this video Zaytuna Farm has received over 150ml of rain, and the fire in the Nightcap National park has been extinguished.

About Geoff:

Geoff is a world-renowned permaculture consultant, designer, and teacher.

About Permaculture:

Permaculture integrates land, resources, people and the environment through mutually beneficial synergies – imitating the no waste, closed-loop systems seen in diverse natural systems. Permaculture applies holistic solutions that are applicable in rural and urban contexts and at any scale. It is a multidisciplinary toolbox including agriculture, water harvesting and hydrology, energy, natural building, forestry, waste management, animal systems, aquaculture, appropriate technology, economics, and community development.
