They started growing trees for shade around the house. Initially, Jaeb and James had many failures, with thousands of saplings dying. But then they discovered the work of Dr John D. Liu. Since then, Jaeb has undertaken a fascinating journey of learning about ecological restoration, permaculture and sustainable agriculture. Jaeb wants to create a food forest, a way of producing food that doesn\u2019t require deforestation or monocrop farming. An educator by training, and passionate about the environment, Jaeb wants to bring as many people on this journey with her as possible. From her own children to the local town to an international community of volunteers who come to the farm to live and learn, Jaeb\u2019s vision is to share knowledge about food security and nature. \u201cIt\u2019s possible to live off the land and to enjoy nature. You don\u2019t need to cut down everything in your farm.\u201d ","author_name":"Creating Space Project","author_url":"http:\/\/creatingspaceproject.libsyn.com\/podcast","html":"
