I think you're referring to Geoff Lawton's greening the desert. Amazing stuff indeed. Plants beget plants and more water and more life, that's the basics. I agree with changes, but having been vegan for 8 years, It simply isn't the right option for me. Instead hunting wild game and humane animal husbandry.

There really is no way to humanely kill someone who does not want to die. that being said i am aware that not everyone believe that animals have rights. So let us move aways from the animal rights debate for now. Having livestock is not sustainable and causes harm to our planet no matter how they are held . While i do not condone it hunting is really the only option that does not cause damage to the planet if it is done in moderation and with the correct practises. As for permaculture i am trying to see how i can create an urban variation on my small property together with other things like aquaphonics ect. I am working on getting rid of my watercloset and using a composting loo instead ...eventually i want to go fully off grid smack in the middle of the city and show others how to do it too ...
Animals aside, getting rid of WC is a great choice. Although animals will be digesting the humanure. You could convert WC to aquaponi setup ahaha. I think the AP Is a great route.
What a great vision, do it! ,I've heard of folks doing this although zoning and such can be tricky. Do you sprout much? That's a great option for small scale food production.
As far as I know if you install a backyard garden composer, you can legally use it to manage your humanure. The 5 gallons bucket system is a great option for urban settings.
Best of luck in your endeavors, seems like you have big visions. All the best!
i live in the deep south of NC but for some reason my city has really environmentally friendly rules , rainwater collecting allowed , composting allowed , wind turbines allowed ect... as for the humanure done right they will never even know what i am composting lol and i own the house :) it will all take a bit as i am disabled but i believe i putting my money where my big mouth is lol .one step at the time ...
Great to hear it. You have a lot of options then. Day by day you're making the dream a reality.
