Rynhardt, a good friend and fellow South African living in london, just showed me an awesome video about a group of people that have taken on a project, where they are have taken a baron piece of land in the desert and turned into in a thriving showcase for what can be done with some clever permaculture.

Here is an excerpt from their project page:
"This is just one example of how permaculture can transform the environment, and, in so doing, dramatically change lives. By evidencing the dramatic transformation possible in the world’s worst agricultural scenarios, we hope to make people stand up and listen."

After a big of digging, i managed to find a link to their site (http://www.permaculture.org.au) and found the link for the "greening the desert" project page. It looks like these guys are doing some really impressive stuff with permaculture, so much so that i think i am going to create a dedicate project page promoting their work!
