Permaculture Soils DVD Trailer

It’s a wonderful thing to behold when permaculture passion and top-notch multimedia skills intersect in world-changing ways. Frank and Jane Gapinski of Ecofilms have spent countless hours working up highly educational and highly watchable productions for the PRI for a few years now. It all began with the initial Greening the Desert clip that took the world by storm; then followed the Water Harvesting DVD, the Food Forest DVD, and very recently the Introduction to Permaculture Design DVD. The incredible uptake of these films is living, encouraging proof that there is a new generation emerging who understand what needs to be done, and want to know how to do it!
But wait, there’s more! We’re now awaiting the soon-to-be-released Permaculture Soils DVD! This DVD gets to the very heart of what’s needed for a permanent culture, examining that magical muck that is the foundation of all the aforementioned productions. This work shares insights from Geoff Lawton’s two and a half decade’s worth of worldwide experience in soil creation – an experience gained in some of the world’s most inhospitable environments – helping to make the impossibly complex come to life in wondrously understandable ways. I personally think that holistic studies in soil science should be compulsory, foundational elements for every school syllabus – and that if they had been we wouldn’t be in the mess we’re in today – and we hope this DVD will go some distance in making up for this major shortfall in mainstream education.
Check out the trailer, and then stay tuned for future updates on release.

Vid looks awesome!!
Geoff hurry back, Paul Taylor and the Interns have taken over the farm, all hell’s broken loose. Shall i put them into the chicken tractor and feed them cob until your return? That will at least buy us time to figure out a way to sustainably dispatch/compost them?

I’m already on the cue to have it on my dvd-player and beamer…
I would very much appreciate the possibility of having this already with subtitles in different languages for what i suggest you let the base english src file to be accessible or otherwise make it possible for someone to provide you the required translated files to be included on the final production dvd.
On my side i am willing to provide the Portuguese subtitles if you release the necessary files to make it possible.
Continue the good work
Permacultural hugs to all

Hey thats a good idea – doing different language subtitles. How about Polish? I can do that?
