A Permaculture Engineer's Perspective on Diet (Video Interview)

In this video interview Rob Avis shares his insights, on peak energy/food, intermittent fasting, bioregional diets and how a permaculture approach to your diet can help you to heal yourself, and heal the planet.

Rob and his wife Michelle are the founders of the globally-recognized and award-winning design, consulting, and education company, Verge Permaculture. For the past decade they have helped more than 1000 students and a growing number of clients to design and/or create integrated systems for shelter, energy, water, waste and food, all while supporting local economy and regenerating the land. I often refer to Rob as an Amateur Holistic Nutritionist, and if you watch the video you will see why!
