379. Nature's Blueprint for Peace: Jim Gale's Food Forest Revolution

"When we take the poisons out and we grow food instead of lawns, we grow the Garden of Eden all around us."

"The idea is simply going back to nature, going back to God, going back to service and love and joy and stewardship of our land."

"Permaculture is not only the most loving and logical strategy on how we end hunger globally, but this is also the only way we are going to defeat tyranny."

"Whatever the mind can conceive and believe it can achieve."

"Faith and courage have no boundaries."

"The answer to war is peace."

Today's guest, Jim Gale, was introduced to me by Matt Drinkhahn, the eternal optimist. And my dad said that today's guest, Jim Gale, is the eternal optimist. He says that food forests equal freedom. My dad said it would be nice if we could go back to the Garden of Eden and make that happen again. Jim, welcome to the Better Call Daddy show.

Broadcasting live from the Garden of Eden, Jim Gale shares his journey of raising four daughters during an apocalypse, his dedication to bringing solutions to the masses, and the importance of permaculture. Jim discusses how sustainable agricultural design can solve the world's biggest problems and the critical role of nature in our lives. He reflects on his connection to nature through meditation, breathwork, and reading, and how this has led him to a simple truth: love life again.
Jim's work has even caught the attention of Robert Kennedy Jr., and he shares his conversation with Kennedy about changing society through permaculture. Jim explains how permaculture can reduce crime, improve mental health, and create food security by integrating food forests into schools, prisons, and community spaces. He also touches on his experiences in Costa Rica and the challenges of government intervention.
Join us as Jim Gale discusses his mission to catalyze a shift in awareness, the importance of self-reliance, and the role of faith and courage in standing up to tyranny. He shares personal anecdotes, including his red-pill moment, the impact of permaculture on his family, and his vision for a world where food forests replace lawns and bring about peace on earth.
