One of the premier Permaculture teachers and designers in North America with over two decades of experience in the field. His passionate and visionary presentations and curriculum have inspired and motivated teachers and thousands of students since his days as a high school teacher at a open community free school which he graduated from in 86' in Glenmoore, PA.
Andrew lived off the grid in West Virginia for 8 years where he designed and built his Permaculture Ph.d homestead, including a 1600 sq ft strawbale house. He moved to Brooklyn in 2007 and has been applying his knowledge to the urban landscape culminating in a Permaculture Design Certification course, with thousands of graduates in NYC. Andrew and his partner Adriana Magaña are co-directors of The Center for Bioregional Living in Ellenville, NY a 14 acre, hands-on educational campus for students, clients and their daughter Juniper.
This is a short piece I wanted to share unedited on my observations in the field. The failings of a food system based on trucking and lang distance supply lines. The tortured barrenness created by the industrial infrastructure in the Southwestern U.S. The solutions? Embarrassingly simple send all grey water to plantings, grow more plants of all kinds. Source separate and return all nutrients to the land.

The Burning Earth-Readings & Review
Herein I read a wide range of my favorite excerpts from The Burning Earth: 500 Year s of Environmental History written by a Yale professor Sunil Amrith, a 2024 publication. Very readable !...an erudite and articulate book. Spanning from early agrarian societies and the transition from Nomadic lifestyles to sedentary more rice and grain based agriculture. The book dives in depth into China, India and Russian histories with a powerful writing style that carries us all the way into contemporary times. Sunil Amrith observes sweeping and insightful patterns of history , tying together vast swaths of time and ecological relationships, distilling them to poignant and important connections. Please listen as we go from early civilizations to colonialism, sugar, WW I - tanks vs. horses, WW II - chemicals and industrialization, wrapping with the green revolution, India and modern global food issues and ideas.
