In Senegal, a master of permaculture grows a lush oasis in the desert 

It was not a desert before people arrived? A tropical rainforest?

my thoughts, exactly! ❤️ 🌎

Exactly!!

He is more useful and beneficial to the world than all the politicians of this planet combined. I feel so inspired by him.

politicians are nothing

@@Emsyaz and then ,,one day..the politic ..(wants !).. these kind on men.....and they become..politicians.....oh,!

There won't be drought and famine if everyone learned permaculture. People wouldn't force themselves in cities because "they have no money to buy food". Plants don't care if you're rich or poor for them to grow. They respond on how well you know about nature. Old age practice of farming like monocropping has short term benefits and long term side effects. Depleting the soil of its fertility

Soon we are not going to have a choice.

@@hansanders4983 Yes I agree. I’ve got a food forest myself :)

Totally agree.

Solution to most humans problems is free and simple yet everyone is trying to over complicate it 😂 life’s a comedy sometimes isn’t it

The land is recently deserted; he helped guarantee the secondary succession. So many areas that were forests last century could benefit from this.

Just bless Him.....

he already has

Right like wtf

I know I wasn't tripping seeing that mushroom

mushrooms are 95% water

And mushrooms enrich the soil :)

When they regreen deserts they often find natural springs even start popping out of the ground!

That's how humans should be.. I am sick of religious idiots holding back the world with their "it is what it is" and oh it's all his work and miracle bullshits

He is so wrong. God gave him knowledge, maybe that's not a "miracle" by usual standards, but it is in that he got the ideas to do it.

@@observeoutofthebox7806 What "religious idiots" are saying that???? I don't. It takes certain MINDSETS , certain types of people. Whether this man wants to believe it or not, God put the ideas into his mind. I'm very glad that he and others around the world, have changed deserts and unproductive land into wonder forests and and gardens, but it hasn't been all them.

Ignorance, pride and ego, can rush you to hell, all what we do, do it in the name of the Lord, and His mercy and graces will revealed, all we do it will ne successful because of our efforts, but most of all, because of Divine Providence that sustain us and in the world...ooohh common people...

@Bvbs and ending up selling monsanto products to his prior students.

Or he could help unroot the corruption and help keep Monsanto at bay

Minister needs more than farming knowledges. It's a position where managerial capabilities are more important than technical knowledges. How to handle and organize people, distribute and facilitate sectors that have big potential, etc.

@@hydrolifetech7911 Anyone who tries to change the status quo in favor of the people is killed. Either understand this, or go back to pretending otherwise.

A good expert does not make a good politician. It might happen but not too often.

Absolutely right!

@Al Loomis are you suggesting that politicians actually do some good, and have positive value?

No he's worth more than 1 million politicians

And now he will help making his country a better place for him and his family. Magnificent

This guy has a leadership quality which the WORLD needs

Permaculture is the past as well

It's been done for centuries. Pretty much every civilization has done it. Hydro/Aquaponics is the real future.

@@deehines5750 hydro aquaponics won’t be available for many third world countries for centuries to come

@@bigshrimp6458 Lol it definitely won't be centuries. It's already becoming popular in different countries in Africa and parts of India. Primarily the Kratky method where you don't need constant water flow but they've even started growing fodder hydroponically there. Even places without a stable water source have been able to grow hydroponically from rain barrels and gravity fed systems.

@@deehines5750 Hydroponic farming requires quite a bit of high tech, that's the problem.

cooperation over competition, beautiful.

Yes its a Nice country , look at the natural casamance region

Hello Eric. How is that going?

Hi Eric am doing drama I want to work with you

How would the EU and US help? Them having a stake in this makes it a contingency to them..

Yeaaa we had to put trillions of emergency spending on our digital National debt. If our government couldn’t just create money out of thin air we would all be screwed.

Politics aside, it would be more credible for a local to do this unassisted. I believe others would be more likely to follow his example if they view him as one of their own.

Supported how and why, why not by Asia or the middle east? Really it is up to people to do things themselves and in their local communities. I support the way of life he lives. I hope there is enough water there.

Permaculture should lead to sovereignty and independence from the EU, US or any other authority. That's the idea.

I agree they should collaborate! But food forests are different from reforestation. Ecosia focuses on replacing native trees, this is focused on optimizing an oasis.

Yep. He recently opened a hardware store for he's brother. So he's doing very well.

How is it that when a man uses science, knowledge and his own work, merit is attributed to some "god" but when there is only desert sand and the only work is prayer, no "miracle" or other "magic" wants to happen!

In my private library I have a dozen or so books on permaculture which were used with great success in the EU from the 1950s-1960s. What do we know 50 years later?! .....😎😁 Yes, we know much more now! We have space rockets that return to earth by themselves and land themselves!

@@wtfjesus8251 Gonna let you in on a secret... humanity is god, work is answering your prayers. We all build off each other and become something more than ourselves

@@Mesfin887 I agree. Every nation should have its own sovereign control. I would love to see Africa become one nation. However, tgat will take either all Africans setting aside the race and tribalism nonsense or it will happen with outsiders controllingbyour economy. When I lived in Northern, CA it was wonderful. People from every culture and every country all worked together. My friends were every color. That is how my family is as well.Now I live in a place similar to where a grew up. Most people all look the same. I grew up in the black American community. I am now in a all white Mormon community. I hated how I grew up and I hate this place. People are so mean when you do not look like the "norm." It is very lonely. I hope tgat your nation does not act like South Africa, but tgat you learn to act like my people, the Creoles of Louisiana, where the color of your skin does not matter, rather, the expression of your heart toward others.

You need europe for knowlegde. After that you dont need europe

But he is an entrepreneur and businessman😖 🤣

You’re so beautiful. Love from Ghana ❤️❤️

I'm doing it

I vermacompost because my indoor farm has so little waste. Then the compost tea is used to fertilize the plants and everything stays organic.

You'd have to start at the edges and work your way in after each group of plants was established it would take decades and thousands of people working together planting trees that reach deep into the ground like willow and date palm then babying those young trees for years to get them able to live without help its not likely to happen unless the world changes dramatically

And heirloom sorghum and millet are so high in nutrients and drought tolerant

@@lorebrown5307 Totally agree. Part of the issue with Africa's food security is reliance non-native grains like corn.

@@leedza Cereals are a constraint in Africa due to heavy pest attack as they are located in an ecological hub , so farmers eventually turn to pulses which are more protein rich like peanuts and grams . Restoring diverse eco system can make cereals more productive and cheap but only if they stop commercialised monoculture.

Growing barley is great in different difficult environments (high mountains, dry deserts, badly affected soils...). It can grow in any region that recieves 200 mm of rain a year! Best of all, barley bread is great: delicious and nutritious!

Perhaps, I think the larger problem is with monocultures. Lack of diversity does not provide the farmer with crops to feed himself and have something to sell. It also does improve the local environment by attracting wildlife.

If you're up in the panhandle there's Pensacola Permaculture and East Hill Edible Gardening. I'm sure there's permaculture folks in central and south Florida as well. Good Luck!
