Permaculture farmers Esben Schultz and Mira Illeris run Permakulturgården.dk, part of the Skovvirke farming cluster, where they grow 78 species of trees, shrubs and vegetables. Their food forest moves from nut and fruit trees down through berry bushes to perennial vegetables and herbs, with ducks and hens keeping pests in check and supplying eggs.
The talk combines photos of permaculture cultivation with their experience of living sustainably and tackling climate, water-environment and biodiversity challenges. It also covers the carbon storage of food forests and the genskovning (reforestation) scenario they developed for Denmark in the book PERMAKULTUR, which informed the political group of the Permakultur Danmark association.
