Zach Loeks on how to inegrate perennial plants in a market garden: Skill building call 2
b"Welcome to the second of the Regenerative Skill Building calls that I host with Climate Farmers, a new organization working to promote regenerative agriculture across Europe. These calls are specifically designed for our growing community of farmers around the continent and regenerative agriculture consultants. We listen to their interests and concerns online and then reach out to the experts who can best answer them and offer guidance. \\n\\n\\n\\nIn this second call, I was joined by my good friend Zach Loeks who came to speak about his innovative permabed system of integrating perennial crops into the market garden for long term resilience in both the farm business and the site\\u2019s ecology. We cover skills for reading your landscape and imitating natural systems, and that\\u2019s all before we opened things up for listener questions. Zach has been a great contributor to this podcast over the years and was the first of my contacts to actually come out to Guatemala where I used to live and teach a permaculture design certification with me and the team at Atitlan Organics. \\xa0So be sure to check out some of the previous episodes I\\u2019ve done with him in the past at regenerativeskills.com where you\\u2019ll also find links to where you can buy his books with an exclusive discount code in the show notes for this episode.
