I applaud the general direction and many of the ideas here.

But I'm wondering what farming methods are being promoted, and what directions these methods are being focused.

Are things being focused in a permaculture / one-straw revolution kind of way...

...or the more typical methods of destructively plowing up all the plants, exposing the earth, and planting seeds, etc?

It's one thing to make blueprints and videos on how to make tools for farming, which is truly great, but are there extensive discussions on how to do sustainable non-destructive farming, as well?

And the resources necessary (metals, etc) to create these tools -- also sustainable?

I'm new to this forum, so please send links if these things are already being discussed.
