Why we grow our gardens using the permaculture principles?

…and what we answer when people say it’s not possible to feed the world this way.

At Stedsans, we advocate for local, clean food. 

And very often I hear people saying ‘Yeah but we cannot feed the world like that’ the fact is, that they have not checked what they are talking about. UN’s report ‘Wake up before it’s too late’ in that conclusion they say the only way to feed a growing population is to by small scale sustainable food production. That is lucky because it tastes better! 

For soon two decades, Stedsans has worked with food directly from the farmers and we’ve done that because it tastes better. But you also find out that there are more minerals in it, it’s more vital. 

When you grow with permaculture principles, you build up biomass, biodiversity, you use less water, you don’t add toxic chemicals to the soil and the water and the organisms. When you add the layer with compost toilets, then you actually take nutrition from the soils and then you’re bringing it back to the soil again.

That’s easy. For us, this is true sustainability.
