Greening the Desert II
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 24 มี.ค. 2015
- This half hour video documents the ongoing work of Permaculture Gurus, Geoff and Nadia Lawton, in the Dead Sea Valley. It begins with the famous original 'Greening the Desert' five minute video clip, and then continues into Part II, a 2009 update to the 2001 original.
You'll get to see and learn about the original Greening the Desert site and see some of the spin-off effects of its influence throughout Jordan.
When there’s no soil, no water, no shade, and where the sun beats down on you to the tune of over 50°C (122°F), the word ‘poverty’ begins to take on a whole new meaning. It is distinct and surreal. It’s a land of dust, flies, intense heat and almost complete dependency on supply lines outside of ones control. This is the remains of what was once called the ‘fertile crescent’. It is the result of thousands of years of abuse. It is a glimpse at a world where the environment - whose services provide for all human need - has all but completely abandoned us. This is a glimpse at the world our consumer society is inexorably moving towards, as our exponential-growth culture gorges itself at ever-increasing rates.
The original Greening the Desert video clip has been watched hundreds of thousands of times and has been posted to countless blogs and web pages in the datasphere. Although only five minutes long, it has inspired people around the globe, daring the lucid ones amongst us, those who can see the writing on the wall, to begin to hope and believe in an abundant future - a future where our survival doesn’t have to be based on undermining and depleting the very resources of soil, water, phosphorus, etc. that we depend on. The work profiled in that clip demonstrates that humanity can be a positive element within the biosphere. Man doesn’t have to destroy. Man can repair.

please let this guy live a long life and spread his wisdom worldwide
There are problems with HOA's in the US. Mine wouldn't allow water harvesting and were not keen on turning the backyard into food. These are things we need to fight for. I now harvest about 1500 gallons and my small backyard (1200 sq. ft.) produced over 300 lbs. of fruits and veges so far this year. Mother Earth allows me to make good changes. Government is the real pain in the neck.
Government and big corporate food companies!
I remember watching a cartoon a long time ago in which they went to Jordan, and the old water harvesting systems they showed were so amazing they left a deep mark on me. It was fascinating to think what people can do even in an arid desert.
Looks like thousands of years have caught up to us and we don’t know how to farm any more . To busy playing on the computer to get out side . Love the music 🎶.
This is the future and EVERYONE should be doing this all over the world! Amazing work guys!!!!!!
Hello, I am over in Australia and I’m a 20 year old with no knowledge or experience in permaculture or gardening but I would like to be.
Where should I start? Any books you can suggest? Shall I try attend a course? What course would be recommend??
I don’t know where to start.
Thank you for your advice
Clouwds Just keep watching TH-cam videos on the subject. The you tube algorithm will recommend new videos for you as it does for everyone. Watch videos from Elaine Ingham in the U.S. They are long and require your complete attention, but the information will amaze you. Watch Greg Judy’s videos on how he finds and restores depleted pastures. He takes depleted pastures with no economic value to anyone, and runs cattle, sheep, goats and chickens across the land. He then leases or sells the rich pasture land he has created to others. My local plant nursery (Dave Wilson Nursery) has videos for beginners. I’ll bet your local nurseries have videos too. Good Luck

Seeing that mismanaged permaculture site must have been hard on Geoff. Stay strong 🧡
Every time I see this it saddens me. He left them with a great system. They all saw how great it worked and they destroyed it. Stupidity is world wide.
You can’t fix stupid!😢🥺😢🥺😢🥺😢🥺
Is meat eating the big problem?
Not really stupidity, it’s not their way of life, we can’t understand because we live in a different world.
If you had taken a bunch of city people and tried to give them something like this, they too would destroy it. Culture determines what is important to a people. He did a different project for them that better fits their pastoralist heritage. He set up a system that used their grey water and black water to produce animal feed. That worked out better.
where when did they wreck his system?
These kind of people are my heroes. I salute them.

Amazing. We need this in South Africa. We will be able to feed ourselves and our neighbours
In South Africa is it true that the government can just take your land if they want?

@Donald J You will need to show dimensions, drawings etc.
@@rolfpoelman3486 why be has! He has not only provided a dimensional drawing , but also backed it up with an artists representational picture of both before and after perspectives. If you can not see that then you are blind. Or work for a government department, I am surprised you did not also ask for a cost analysis together with a methodology white paper.

I will happily watch anything with Geoff in it.
Starting back from the beginning to watch every episode. Much to learn and be inspired by. Thank you

This just incredible to see how tolerant and resilient mother nature is
There is no Mother Nature but ALLAH!
Isn't this so inspiring! The best thing about this is the total change in the belief system of agriculture and soil improvement and proper management. This should be adopted the whole world over!

Bill Gates HATES what you are saying! He said "over 2 BILLION small farmers will disappear within 20 years", I don remember the amount of years he said, it was not much. He is also helping the big Corp do that, taking over the properties of the middle class.
The fucking governments should work and help people on this project rather the war!!!
Geoff you are a blessing to mankind. God bless you brother
Excellent content Geoff and Nadia, thank you for sharing 🙏 this is the way we should have been farming all along 💚🌍
Very noble project. It only shows that all God's creation is worthwhile. We only need cooperation and little sacrifice. God bless you on your beautiful project.
I'm glad he's incorporating some livestock into his greening project. When done correctly I believe livestock can greatly help the Land. I've watched video's of farmers that have took damaged Pasture and improved it with what some call mob grazing. They said after it was intensely grazed for a day,and in the process the livestock fertilized the ground,they let it rest for 90 days before it's grazed again. And they say when they do that each trip back the land is improved and produces even more grass. I also watched a video of a guy in Arizona who planted some grass,with some compost. He then put chickens in a mobile chicken coop on it after the grass started coming up. I guess he moved it daily. He showed the difference between the land the chickens had been on vs what the chickens haven't yet been on. Interesting I thought. I guess it was his small piece of land that he was trying to green up and make a homestead out of. Look up Allen Savory as well. I also watched a video of a guy who grew livestock,fruit and I can't remember what else on the same farm. He seemed to think it worked well together.
No tests on mob grazing have had good results. it's probably best for extraordinarily degraded areas with very high levels of growth that cows don't like, on a single species system.
Simple, brilliant and vital. This is how we should all be living. In an abundant, verdant peaceful garden. Completely excellent work.

Mandatory watching. These guys know how to present this topic of good agricultural practices that heal the environment without sounding like hippie dreamers. Monetize, privatize, and value what we have to keep it working for tomorrow.
With a little bit of help from humanity, the Earth can and will heal itself! Perfectly brilliant!
I wonder if Bezos, Musk or Branston could spare some of their Mars play money to help out
What the fuck are we interested in Mars for? It's like the sci fi that we're gonna destroy the earth and somehow go terriform other parts of the solar system? What a waste of money and resources, time, etc.
@@solfeinberg437 Earth is a death trap, eventually. We leave or our species dies with our sun. Blaming others for not helping us with our dream is a useless waste of time. Get off your ass and help yourself, take some responsibility.
@@1voluntaryist yeah let's hope we get away before those several billion years have passed! The sun is an unusually docile star I wouldn't worry much about that factor.
Now don't get me wrong, I am a very big fan of spaceflight and the associated technology, it's absolutely true great strides have been made that do excite me , but I do think organising ecology projects is vastly more defensible than putting people on mars at present.
And besides, mars is a considerably less livable planet than earth, compared to anywhere else in the solar system earth even at its worst spots is an absolute eden.
@@NOLNV1 Some people think doing drugs is "vastly more defensible" than anything else. It's their life, their choice. I won't lecture them or anyone else about their choices. I will criticize conventional farming/gardening as unsustainable, unthinking, irrational, irresponsible. I will ask a person who calls themselves "farmer" if the farm or mine the soil. I will ask them if their soil grows richer every year. If so, they farm, if not they mine out the fertility.
How about Soros, Gates, Hillary, and Pelosi. Their money could great help them and us.
THe minute I get a back yard I'm doing something like this on a small scale
I would recommend checking up on where the greening the desert project is at now in 2023 on the discover permaculture youtube channel (Or in person!), it is awe inspiring, especially seeing it's origins in this film. Green the Earth! Foster abundance! Team up with your hardworking plant allies today!
As a lay man I’ve watched with great interest and I’ve got to say well done I was fascinated with the whole project and I can see that a lot more countries will have to follow this example so that they can move forward to feed their own people.

Yes, where are the Gates foundation and Rockerfeller's money to make this happen!! Fantastic stuff!!
They would destroy this project, that's what they do, they have no intention of promoting environmental sustainability.
@@dennissalisbury496 right I was being half sarcastic = you are right they don't want anything that benefits the environment especially if they cannot make any money
This is important work and neighbouring countries should do the same it will bring the rain back and increase water availability.
Israel already did it.
U sir Lawton are credit to the world
I will do this in my desert region Tucson, Az. Thank you for this education. 🙏
how beautiful it is to turn a sandy soil in a foresty loam soil after covering and mimicking the forest. minerals dont go anywhere it just need the gut of the bacteria to pass through to be available for plants to absorb. once the biology start multiply then you see miracles and see the forest being created in front of eyes..
Geoff, you are a super amazing human being. you are the proof that solutions do always exist.
All your problems can be solved in a garden! How true!

I have to say, I remember this program you had crops growing and being shared amongst the families. You had local support of villages so what happened was it because funding was pulled and the local people just went back to sitting on their tush. You would think that these local people would have kept it going so they would have food for their families and keep implementing the things taught to them, they could have sold vegetables to earn cash, they could have sold young starts to other villages. I can positively said if I was shown away of feeding my kids I would not have stopped, I would do all possible to feed, keep clean and educate my children....
No it's a dump because of the people's backwards mentality.
When they come to Europe they still sit on their tush.
My best friend is a Jordanian
and he got out 20 years ago
He is very busy good man
Concentrate the water into one focused growth area to start a plant growth anchor using troughs and large water proof sheets to direct the water into a shaded pool. Then expand. Well done!
Wonderful work! In my garden I do my best to make a difference - planting trees, digging ponds, encouraging wildlife nd I'm laughed at
it is a pity that the locals are not interested enough to carry on the work.
Too much toxic useless religion keeps everything backwards.
Actually in his later videos, we see that more and more locals have been learning and kickstarting their own permaculture projects at their own backyards. It was a good watch.

I absolutely love this video. Thank u Geoff
What a wonderful project and program. Personally, what I would do is build open-air distillation and distill as much of that brackish water as possible. Basically, you'd pump that brackish water to a lined pit (call it 6 inches deep) and a few acres in width and length, and then use corrugated, fiberglass greenhouse roofing material setup like an inverted 15-degree pitch roof, slightly tilted, to collect distilled water and pump it into the rainwater storage systems.
With evaporation, you'll also get a lot of ambient cooling of the surrounding air. Placed properly, this air could be used to lower the overall ambient air temperature and allow the ecosystem to produce a higher variety of crops. The air-temperature delta could also be used to power Sterling Motors/Engines that can produce power to run pumps or whatever else is necessary.
Wow it takes only one man to save Jordan as well as other countries he is the real deal. Geoff can we get this learning course online, I life in London but I realy want to get invovle this amazing project
Doing my part by turning my space into a "food forest". HA! Truckloads of chips, compost everything, nothing organic leaves my lil' patch o' land.
Exactly what I'm going to do.
@@kindwildflower9815 For many of us it's about a beautiful place to BE almost as much as the productivity. I'm a ways from being able to live well only off my lot but maybe in a few yr.s. With enough types both citrus and avocados can produce yr. round.
Thank you!
With hope and prayer water retention will succeed for the very special residents of this region.🌱
Maybe in the old church they showed.
I believe that the permaculture method of growing crops is great. I also think that growing desert grasses into 7’ x 7’ huge grids would help to compost desert sand with their extremely long roots. Crops would be protected growing within the individual cells. Desert grass is usually watered by the morning dew.
The desert countries need thousands of people Like Geoff and Nadia. If it is possible in Jordan it should be possible almost anywhere. I can tell you that here in Norway there are people collecting money to help people in desert countries to buy goats. This is not aid, it is the opposite. Goats create deserts.
'Aid' from western countries often does more harm then good, when people send things like cloths to Africa it destroys the local manufacturing industry and then when people lose interest and stop sending cloths those places are left without any industry to pick up the slack. These countries don't need 'aid' they need people to actual help set up projects like this.
Watch Joel Salitin videos about moving the animals every day. The animals are not the problem, his-management is.
Mismanaged goats create deserts

Excellent question Derek
Out of curiosity, wouldn't this be able to transform Australia? It seems he could rebuild vast amounts of his back yard with a weekend a month.
I wonder , did those sad looking donkeys ever make it across the road. On another note , why isn't Geoff Lawton a household name and why are people not embracing Permaculture simply in their own back gardens ?
Permaculture and regenerative farming require much thought to tailor the plants for each space. Then if pests arrive, more thought is needed to deal with them. Actually many people need help to be successfull growers with these integrative practices. And bad routines such as burning must stop. In addition to stopping our routine of tilling. Even so, permaculture/regenerative farming are great improvements to farming and gardening.

Utterly baffling that those who were originally benefiting from the project as originally designed, seemed to have completely failed to carry it forward, again, to to their own detriment rather than benefit. Also it seems untterly daft to go to the trouble of rearranging the drip irrigation system to be diametrically opposed to the original position....😂😂😂
I'm NOT well versed in permaculture but as a keen gardener and triffidologist, i.e. there's always room for just (one more) plant, honest!;- but even I can see the relevance of the original design & management techniques & would want to carry it forward in that environment.
Wonderful inspiration. Like that they are monitoring their progress and sharing the info. Love the countryside.
Good for Jordan taking in refugees and being as pro Western as they are.
It is so sad that no one managed it after.
Thousands of years of taking, it's time to put back and become real stewards of the land that feeds and nurtures us.
Wow such a great project and different from beginning ❤
Great job, God Bless

i think there are grammar errors in the words scrolling. Please have dubbing for those sections for blind people. I love this.
I want to implement this at my local Southern California park!!!
How's it going?
great info
This method is gaining momentum & popularity here in North America also. Still unheard if taboo in some areas. It was the way of all ancestors did it for ages.... and was lost within a couple generations 😩😭🥴

With an inexhaustible supply (700.000) of refugee labor, I don't see why this project hasn't taken off, it would give the refugees a way forward. Jordan annual Rainfall,
200 Millimeters=7.8740157 Inches.
Any chance, once this lockdown stops you could have holidays for us westoners to come along and do a bit of it? I am a plumber/builder and would like to use my skills to make the world better so building irrigation in the desert sounds good to me.
Love it !
Wowww...this is interesting......great information...
23:26 Just as well it is an outdoor meeting with plenty of air circulation and no roof.
This is top priority. The world should be putting trillions into greening the deserts. We need to 1000x this and turn this on at an industrial level. So sad that this guy knows how to save the world yet is receiving such little in the way of resources. We need this now but nobody seems to care as they continue to contribute to desertification!
Banger of a song when the Facts about Jordan came up!
Amazing work. :')
This guy is my new hero.
excellent work i hope you will get fund for a good project, thnk you for a brilliant work
how do we apply to southwest and prairies of North America? how about the forests since mismanagement of fires has created overgrowth, etc.
Hi My name is Paula. And I need to say something. I believe the elderly should should and all other people from around the world should come together and try to get the goverment to work with them on this life and death of our planet we must not let this happen to our life sores. And the only thing that can make our planet well again is permaculture! we should get air buses and to get elderly people that are fit to do the work. Like what elderly person would not like to garden I would love to do this and after 3 to 6 mouth's you can take a whole set of new people where ever it is needed. we have all kinds of people around the world that need something to do and this over all keeps you moving it is healthy for them I am not saying all elderly and the people that cant find job;s can go to these places to work for the money they get from the goverment to stay at home tell they find a job so here you go why not?????. They can still get the money because when they get back from the the job of healing the planet they can still look for jobs and if no luck they can apply to do the job again and will be leaning to do permaculture witch is awesome if you have land or it can be a trade for a young person to do if they like it I just think this is a good way to heal the planet this is where all that money that is going out there should be put on this healing our planet we need this to be done and this is the way it should be done. And with the corona-19 there are jobs that no one wants to do because it is to close to the next person so how ever do not want to work this is what we should do is to send people away here there is room and air to breath and move around send them where you need them to go so they wont set on there asses taking money I would go we have to do something right so you kill a bird with one stone I do not mean the bird thing I love nature I know there well be kink's there always' is but we can do this we have to do this now not latter this is the way to pay some of this money back some how and the people need to move and help the planet so how can we do this??????? and how can I get there????? thank you how ever reads this Thank you for helping and caring about our world God Bless you all that care.
Had an Arab, Jordan, Saudi, Iranian friends at one time. All wonderful people. I'll bet all those kids grow up with illnesses and lung cancer when older. 2020 - Sometimes when huge areas are regrown the moisture increases causing rain... river sometimes flow again.
i can't english well.but Mr lawton you're perfect man👍.If you come sri lanka please give some knowledge us to protect my beautyful country and save the earth..
I wonder if the projekt can some how get funded. I will be glad to offer some financial support.
Hi Amjad,
Please contact editor@permaculturenews.org if you would like to assist the project.
Great idea.
I think crowdfunding that harnesses the conversion/ higher currency values of Western countries would be the way to go. They could do something like patreon where they video tape educational and behind the scenes videos and share it with the contributors :D I'd totally contribute for that but a system like that allows each person/ family/ institution/ community to contribute what's doable for them.
@@empresspyra I think a lot of people would, if they could see the individual community directly benefiting or an ecosystem restored. People always donate to plant trees. However, if people sponsored a loose rock check dam, that would provide for multiple trees.
Fucking legend!
This could be used for desalinization of ocean water for irrigation and drinking to all the populated places next to the ocean that can't seem to solve this problem of a water shortage. California USA, all of Australia, etc., greening the desert from eastern California to Arizona, New Mexico, through to west Texas. "Terraform" that before Mars and you won't "need" to go to Mars.
Lets hope it stays secure, this is great
it's hard really hard to change
the mind set of the people
Especially when they squander all their time attempting to appease evil gods they are terrified of.
You're thinking of America, that backward hellhole full of maggot-infested cunt-whoring gun nuts.
@@ismailniyaz5167 Envious much? What do you know about America besides nothing? Ever left your own tiny world?
@@ismailniyaz5167 Ismail, I am greatly dismayed at the so prominent negative parts of my country. I believe we are all God's/Allah's children and the good and bad in each person is each person's choice and is neither automatic nor dependent on what nation or religion one comes from. I wish peace and God's/Allah's will in all the world and pray His greatest mercies upon all honest, sincere people who honestly, sincerely disagree on religion and other thought and beliefs. I *personally* love and pray for all people on earth, especially and including those who see and think of me as an enemy or less than your fully loving brother and friend. Peace to you, my brother!
Also as important now is how permaculture can continually lock away carbon from the atmosphere into the soil.
Some dessert is vital for the spread world wide of rainforest beds to go form the sea though the rainforest back into the air and travel world wide its part of life but we should definitely reforest a lot of land
A great idea for future generations..

I wonder if this could be done in the California desert, Coachella Valley?

I don’t know where to start.
Thank you for your advice
Hi, In relation to books. Permaculture A Designers Manual is a good start: www.tagari.com/permaculture-designers-manual/
or An Introduction to Permaculture: www.permaculturenews.org/permaculture-shop/books/introduction-permaculture/
In relation to attending a course, a PDC takes you through the designers manual, but it may be difficult at the moment due to COVID-19 to obtain a face to face course. Geoff runs some great courses at Zaytuna Farm, check out their website for listings. www.zaytunafarm.com/courses-events/.
You can also check out Geoff Lawton's website which has a wealth of information and also offers an online course. www.geofflawtononline.com/
Or read some of the many articles on permaculturenews.org that too can be a good place to start.
I hope that helps?
great sir, hope you will soon do a project in snow regions..
This is very interesting
Sad they abandoned it. Perhaps the anchor was sunk deep enough.
Does biochar (with it's nutrient and moisture locking properties) have any place in reforestation of desert?
