In this vlog American filmmaker Jonathan Ramsey meets Łukasz Nowacki, one of Poland’s growing number of permaculture farmers. Located on the outskirts of the tiny village of Gapinin in Poland’s Łódź region, Łukasz’s farm - named The Valley of Mists - is in an area with very damaged soils and huge problems with drought, making it one of the most difficult places in Poland to do permaculture. Using compost and a variety of smart agroforestry methods since 2013, Łukasz is transforming this sandy, barren soil into an oasis of resilience and regeneration.
