Jim Gale is a permaculture advocate and the founder of Food Forest Abundance, an organisation that promotes sustainable food systems.
Permaculture is a method of agriculture that works with nature by using diverse plants, animals, and natural processes to create self-sustaining ecosystems. Unlike monoculture farming — which involves growing a single crop and often damages soil and biodiversity through the use of chemicals — permaculture helps build healthy soil, supports wildlife, and reduces the need for artificial inputs. This approach is better for the environment and offers greater resilience for long-term food production.
