Personally, I'm not too keen on the reporting programme's blatant editorial slant that, "This is a business," and "Global warming is real," but the intention is certainly in the right direction: living in harmony with THE SUN and THE LAND and PUTTING BACK WHAT YOU'VE TAKEN FROM BOTH.
The Dervaes family grows over 400 species of plants, 4,300 pounds of vegetable food, 900 chicken and 1,000 duck eggs, 25 lbs of honey, plus seasonal fruits throughout the year.
From 1/10th of an acre, four people manage to get over 90% of their daily food and the family reports earnings of $20,000 per year (AFTER they eat from what is produced). This is done without the use of the expensive & destructive synthetic chemicals associated with industrial mono-cropping, while simultaneously improving the fertility and overall condition of the land being used to grow this food on. Scaled up to an acre, that would equal $200,000 per year! [source FOOD ABUNDANCE]
