Part 3/10:
At 80, Joe acknowledges the need for community in his quest to preserve this lifestyle. He envisions an eco-village of eight people to share responsibilities on the land he cherishes. As he reflects on his profound respect for ancestral ways of living, using land not just as an asset but as a means of survival, he draws lessons from hunter-gatherer societies and ancient agricultural practices. This sustainable approach seeks to increase the ecological carrying capacity of his land, packed with a staggering variety of plant species that can aid in human health and environmental resilience.
