Permaculture is a system of agricultural, economic, political, and social design principles based on patterns and characteristics of natural ecosystems. B-Nomad conducts trainings, consultations, and festivals around permaculture and sustainable building practices in multiple locations around the globe. This time, they invited us to join them in M'hamid, a Moroccan town in the Sahara Desert, to document the training sessions they facilitated in this environment of sublime beauty, where seven years ago they began a food forest under some of the harshest conditions imaginable. Their work there is a testament to what can be built following regenerative agriculture strategies with a holistic approach. Documenting and helping spread their philosophy and agricultural techniques was an immensely stimulating exercise in visual poetry.
