JIM GALE is the founder and CEO of Food Forest Abundance ; foodforetabundance.com, a company designed to assist and empower individuals and communities across the world to grow their own food. There are over 40 millions acres of lawn in the United States alone, which grown no food, drain water resources and use tons of poisons. Jim has created a very simple way to transform this land into abundant, healthy "food forests" at minimal cost. From consultation, to design and installation, anyone can easily grow an enormous variety of foods with less maintenance than is required to maintain a grassy lawn -- not to mention the benefits to health, food costs and the envronment. Permaculture is the way forward to health and personal freedom. It is an idea whose time has come!
