why no animals? they are essential to the eco system

I recently moved to Portugal, I think I will come to visit this place! I want to learn more 🙂

Utopian community. Portugal also uses renewable energy, had decriminalized all psychelics, very progressive country like Japan

I live in Queensland, Australia. We have a community here called Crystal Waters in Maleny. I don’t know about the present time but they have shared their knowledge of environment and community with workshops, internet etc. they interact with the outside community with a bakery and hosting a monthly market. Homes are often mudbrick and strawbale.

Greeting from Hamburg 🌞

I have been binge watching on Project Kamp's videos and was reminded very much of the Tamera community as a model or template to follow. Good to see you visiting Tamera as a part of your research. It also seems quite similar in concept to the kibbutzes in Israel.

This the Kamp is a great project! Keep at it Mr Hakkens! It'll be worth it.

Tamera is not very far from me and I visited when we first moved to Portugal. There is a lot of good there but much I disagreed within some of its philosophy. Basically I felt it was a cult and not for me.

All they need are some "dark" people to mess up the balance. As an area gets to about 25% of them, watch out, they will be taken advantage of then.

After watching this video and knowing what I do know about Permaculture. Tamera has purchased it's permaculture which has allowed them to live a permaculture like lifestyle except for the fact that they are vegan. This is in many ways contrary to Permaculture since it integrates using farm animals into growing food. Not that it bothers me but somewhere they are cheating on their veganism to grow these crops. Which kinda makes them hypocrites. And judging by a few of their videos they seem more like cultists than permaculturalists. I could be wrong.

There is a couple in Costa Rica that has been adapting Permaculture for vegans and they admit to importing manures from other properties. To their credit, they do actually do understand the design principles.

I don't know if this will help since this video is a year old but you mentioned that "Permaculture isn't on the internet much". Factually that statement is partially wrong. Permaculture is all over the internet you just need to know the terminology since not all permaculturalists advertise what they are doing as Permaculture. There are books that you can buy as well.

Here is some terminology for you that might help. Chicken Tractors/ Chicken tractor on steroids, Rotational grazing/ mob grazing, Companion planting, Swales, Rocket stoves, Hugelkultur, no-dig gardens, SuperAdobe, Cob/Strawbale building, cordwood building, rainwater collection, you can pretty much look up permaculture and any farm animal and they will have suggestions for you.

Another reason Permaculture is hard to find is that things that started as Permaculter went mainstream or they borrowed/ adapted from the mainstream. Well, I hope this helps.

15:13 right, if this project is helping towards a solution for sustainable living why would they not want it to be replicated easily every where in the world, sometimes stating an obvious point need to be said by outsiders

Absolutely impressive solar energy research group – and really putting it to practice!

cool cool cool :>

Franzi is three of the most positive people ever captured on video.

So what about sharing the solar cooker plans so that other people can make those cookers also instead of chopping down the forest?

I want to know more about the solar cookers

That work shop is brilliant

I just love your video about Tamera. So many information, but I dont know what is medium of the age in this community? Is there any special religion ? Thanks for answer .

Looks like a kibbutz. What is the new invention?
