In Kenya, An Inspiring Maasai Man Creates Change Through Permaculture 

What a lovely, progressive, intelligent man who is up lifting his community

He is just wonderful. He Is living what I dream of doing and that I am preparing to do. If only the world had the same way of thinking as him, we would all be happy. Take care of nature and people. Turns problems into solution for all

I think I just found my way back home to kenya. Thank you.

I did my PDC there...great memories and insight. The growth is beautiful. So glad my inputs there will forever remain...esp the cob bench area outside and a planted tree. 😊

What a spectacular video. I love the bird audio at the beginning. Really brings me there. I hope the folks of Kenya know how spectacular and appreciated they are by those of us in other countries seeing their work! Real pioneers leading the rest of us into the future.

I am proud of how you doing from Eritrea living in Sewden.

Something just so satisfying about seeing how recyclable things are, good stuff.

This gentleman is such an inspiration. Well done, Sir! Tubula Osotua lai!

Living with nature surrounded with trees, plants and animals such a beautiful place with full of positive energy. I would wish to be like that. I appreciate this and would expect more videos, we should understand nature. We cannot see God, but can feel him by his creation.

I am so, so, so excited for everyone who is living like this, the methane gas method is EXCELLENT!! :D

This so impressive, Kenya seems to have some amazing permaculture leaders! Love 💕 from Canada 🇨🇦!

Fantastic man, great content, thank you.

Awesome! I love the buildings and the paintings on them. It's amazing to see what you can do in such a hot climate

Way to go. Teach teach our people before it's too late.

I must visit this centre soon.

So good. Congratulations on this venture

He knows so much about farming and plants. Very intelligent. Very good educative video. 👍🏻👍🏻

Very lovely impressive job! Allllllll natural beautiful. I am sooooooo thrilled. He seems to be enjoying the land n its produce. Wonderful!

YOU CAN EAT THE CACTUS!!! THEIR CALLED NOPALES AND THEY ARE VERY NUTRITIONAL!!!! not a problem. Very much a solution.

This is wonderful! Keep it up. We need more of these initiatives

looking good, I am glad you are doing well...

Great project. The climate here in Guanajuato, central Mexico is similar to yours, and as a nascent farmer I thank you for the ideas you have that I can apply here.

What an amazing man! We so need more like him! He created an amazing place for his community! They have plenty, live beautifully, produce so many things! And live so close with nature and for the nature! I am awe struck with those achievements! Thank you for sharing...xoxox

How can I meet this man? I would love to learn from him

I commend you your work is wonderful..

This video was an absolute joy to watch! Such an organic and resourceful way of life we all can strive for! Thanks for sharing such an inspirational video!

If I could 'like' this video 1000 x, I would!!

Inspirational! Thanks for bringing us these amazing people!

How inspiring! I love to see it. I dream of creating such a sustaining system with a community one day ❤️

Quite educative and easily adaptable as well. Keep up we're coming to learn .

in some ways, Africa is on the bleeding edge of changes needed for the Growing Small movement. I went to the DRC myself a few years ago to practice my nature based electric energy inventions and my Congo Africa experience helped me determine priorities for growing small . Lighting is number one, followed by cell phones and cooking. This is explained in my book.

This was very inspiring and enlightening.

Lets hope comme to africa , congrats

I've just loved what I've seen today. Looking forward to more uploads! The natural way of carrying out these activities has immensely blessed me. May you keep souring higher🌹I would like to learn more as I plan to start practising the same

Good work, Joseph. Proves that the permaculture principles work in all climates and environments. That was the original vision of Mollison and Holmgren when they lay down the principles. It can also be done in varied form in backyards. I'm hoping to see it in larger scale community agriculture here, too. You can dream.

Amazing..Well.done

wow! i should visit this place

This guy is awesome he should be elected as laikipia governer he can change laikipia county.

Awsome.....

Ver good info here keep the good work

Love it........

Amazing!

Why isn't the UN promoting and fund these programs to spread like wildfire across Africa so that they can be energy and food reliant? The World Bank and WHO would get their money back in less than one generation. These are the programs and centers that need just a little bit of exposure and support to go incredible worth that would bring STABILTIY AND PEACE to war torn parts of Africa. I hope someone in a govt. position, village or country where they need hope sees this. This works and can and is healing the land, the people and the animals. Thanks for sharing this encourages me greatly.

Wonderful film, an example to follow. I wonder if they are selling moringa leaves? They can be dried and ponded into a powder, very nutritional. Thank you to all involved 🙏👏

I believe women can be natural euntrapraneurs very much so. I've worked for MANY small business in my day, and among the best most successful of them, it was mostly those created by women! Its not 100%, but I think women have just a bit more of that special X factor that helps them succeed at a somewhat higher rate euntrapranurially. I would hope men and women can support one another in their endeavors as a community! Everyone has special skills amd abilities and talents :)

When he said cactus, I knew it must be invasive. That's a good idea to use it for gas and compost.

So inspiring not only for Africa 🌱👍

Thank you for sharing this videos! I would have never thought to visit 🇰🇪 but its on my bucket list now!!

Very impressive. It also my dream after retiring from sea life.

Very very impressive. I would love to come and visit this place. How do I get there from Nanyuki town.?

I want to practice permaculture too

Wonderful

Amazing ❤

wonderful!

This is good, Weldone

We need to replicate this within the country

Instead of moaning about how humans are messing up the planet, we should be celebrating the good examples so others can follow. Personally I was inspired by Yocuba Sawadogo

Wise man with a vision

Inspiring.

This gladdens my heart. I'm so happy to see permaculture gaining steam (becoming more known for its effectiveness in sustainability) in African countries (and elsewhere) -- this is so wholesome and refreshing! I appreciate Mr. Lentunyoi's mastery in adapting the tools of permaculture to design this Kenyan food forest. It feels like a fully-functioning ecosystem with all the right cooperative elements supporting each other. The team's creativity with turning the cactus fruit into drinks and non-edibles such as cosmetics was truly inspiring as well. Big Thanks and appreciation to the Growing Small channel and to the good folks at Laikipia for sharing this uplifting story with us. 💖🇯🇲

❤gracias

Very nice project and I wish you (as a farmer from europe) much success!!! One question: can you tell us how many people you feed per acre related to food and income?

good job

Thumbs up!

The video was very educative. Kindly send contacts of the farmer for am Interested to go and learn

Thanks for posting this

Legend, a sustainable future for Africa

👏👏👏💕

Where are they located in Laikipia, i'd love to pay them a visit

Ur garden looks so nice i love it🤩where did u purchase the methan biogas tank?

How much water do you get per year? How do you irrigate? How close are you to Bungoma?

The Mexican people use the prickly pear cactus pad as a vegetable, "nopale" This could be another food source or export product

There is something I wonder about permaculture in Africa. In Europe, it works for vegetable farmers because they benefit from our western habits : people have trees, hedges, electricity and train company also trim trees. All of this generates green waste : tree branches, leaves, trunk wood chips. Landscape gardeners have big trucks and wood chippers to chip it, and need to PAY to bring it to the landfills. So when a farmer say "drop it at my place for free", they're happy. And the farmer gets free mulch, which will feed the soil, the worms, and ultimately the plants. No till, no fertilizers, healthier plants so no pesticides. However, that works because of cities, private gardens, train tracks, power lines etc... But Africa has a lot less of those. And I think this is why in African permaculture farms, I see a huge lack of mulch. You still see naked soil, which is really bad (UVs oxydates the organic matter and empoverishes the soils). You can work with cover crops, but those are tricky to use (to destroy). So it's easier to do cattle and food forests, which you see a lot in African permaculture projects.

Good presentation. I am in Botswana, where can I buy biogas?

Which pArt of laikipia

Nice work brother. How can i get faide herbia albida seedlings, am in Athiriver.

I love that Lentunyoi and the others love their rabbits too much to eat many of them.

This could have been a series…

Brilliant!

I live in a desert ,I would like to know how you grow Bamboo and Bananas in your area ??? any tips ???

Good work!where are you located in laikipia ? Is it far from nyeri?

@1:45 He says "we go down the jubbas " What does Jubbas mean?

How does that toilet function, do you have containers under when people poop? would like to construct one like that.

Are there courses how to apply Permaculture? I know a woman in Mukunike, the Machakos county, and she suffers for the lack of water.

Am looking for vetiver grass

hello Sir I need info for this man I need to go to leaning more from him pls I'm from Tanzania
