Making Permaculture Mainstream with Greg Peterson

The Regenerative Real Estate Podcast

Sep 20 2023 • 1 hr

Greg Peterson is a green-living innovator, educator, and podcast host. His life vision, which has guided him for more than 30 years, is "I am the person on the planet responsible for transforming our global food system." Greg was introduced to permaculture in the 1990s and was quickly inspired to spread its basic ideals of sustainability and working with nature. In 2001, Greg created the Urban Farm, a real world environmental showcase home in Phoenix, Arizona, where people could learn about permaculture principles and see first hand how they can be applied to homes.

Greg and show host Neal discuss Greg's fateful path into permaculture, including a confluence of events in 1991 that would change his life forever and the challenges he faced in brining permaculture to the mainstream decades before it really caught on. They also discuss the basic tenets of permaculture, how to learn about your land by observing it closely, and how you can build an abundant urban garden over years and decades with patience. Finally, they talk about Greg's move to a farm in North Carolina and how he picked the perfect stewards for his Urban Farm in Phoenix.
