Our Daily Bread: A shocking documentary that puts a miror in front of us and shows us who we are. image "Welcome to the world of industrial #food production and high-tech #farming! To the rhythm of conveyor belts and immense machines, the film looks without commenting into the places where food is produced in Europe: monumental spaces, surreal landscapes and bizarre sounds - a cool, industrial #environment which leaves little space for #individualism. #People , #animals , crops and machines play a supporting role in the logistic of this system which provides our society's standard of living. #OUR_DAILY_BREAD is a wide-screen tableau of a feast which isn't always easy to digest - and in which we all take part. A pure, meticulous and high-end film experience that enables the audience to form their own ideas." #Permaculture #Food_crisis #Human_Machine #Hunger #Bitcoin #Bitcoin_is_not_edible #Nostr #Food #Fiat
The #church forests of #Ethiopia are small, sacred #forest fragments surrounding #Ethiopian #Orthodox #Tewahedo churches, primarily located in the northern highlands. image image These forests, some over 1,500 years old, serve as #biodiversity reserves and are crucial for local #ecosystems, providing #habitat for #wildlife and supporting agricultural #pollinators. They cover about 4% of the original forested area due to extensive #deforestation, with around 35,000 individual church forests remaining. There are many conservation efforts include building walls to protect these areas from grazing and agricultural encroachment. #Permaculture #Bitcoin #Nostr #Garden #Gardening #Grownostr

An #Earthship is a type of #passive #solar home designed to be self-sufficient and #sustainable. image It is typically constructed using natural and recycled materials, such as earth-filled tires, aluminum cans, and glass bottles, which are often combined with natural materials like adobe and hempcrete. Earthships are built to minimize their reliance on public utilities and fossil fuels by harnessing renewable energy sources like solar and #wind_power. image Key Features of Earthships: Materials: Primarily made from recycled materials like tires and cans, along with natural materials. Energy Efficiency: Uses thermal mass construction to regulate indoor temperatures naturally, reducing the need for heating and cooling systems. Renewable Energy: Powered by solar, wind, and other #renewable energy sources. Water Harvesting: Collects and treats rainwater for household use, minimizing reliance on external #water supplies. Sewage Management: Treats its own sewage using planter beds. Food Production: Often includes space for growing #food, enhancing self-sufficiency. History and Development: Earthships were first developed in the 1970s by #Michael_Reynolds in the southwestern #United_States. Since then, they have evolved and spread globally, with notable communities in places like #Taos, #New_Mexico, and #Ironbank, #Australia. #Permaculture #Grownostr #Bitcoin #Gardening
