A Forrest From Coffee Pulp / Double Canopy 12 with Rebecca Cole and Rakan Zahawi

Dr. Rebecca J. Cole and Dr. Rakan “Zak” Zahawi are renowned Restoration Ecologists who implemented an experiment similar to the famous Orange Peel Forrest in Costa Rica in the 1990’s, this time using Coffee Pulp ag waste. The results are astounding, and further evidence that this strategy works with multiple inputs, at low cost, and at scale.

Revealing Harmony with Eco Maps / Ben Missimer DC 8

Ben utilizes drone photography, satellite data, and LiDAR technology to create stunning topographic maps. These maps not only showcase the landscape's beauty but also provide vital insights into its hydrology, making them essential for permaculture designers. By meticulously analyzing the terrain's features, such as contour and slope, Ben's maps serve as invaluable tools for understanding water movement. This knowledge guides his permaculture strategies, ensuring a harmonious integration of human design and natural systems that prioritize water conservation and sustainability.
