Designing Your Perennial Farm
Mark Shepard, Manager of New Forest Farms and author of the book Restoration Agriculture, offers a critique of annual crop-based staple food production, while laying the ecological framework and reasons for designing a perennial staple food crops farm. You'll gain the basic skills to begin the transition from annuals to a permanent, perennial agriculture incorporating everything from nuts and berries to livestock and fruits and vegetables. The talk introduces the concept of ecosystem mimicry and keyline water management and will help you to chart a path forward to a truly ecologically designed farm.



Format: HD Streaming
Duration: 57 minutes

Mark Shepard is the CEO of Restoration Agriculture Development, the Forest Agriculture Nursery and runs New Forest Farms, a 110 acre perennial agricultural savanna, one of the first of its kind in the USA. He is the author of the award-winning Restoration Agriculture: Real-world Permaculture for Farmers and Water for ANY Farm.
