Animal systems can be used to clear gardens for permanent systems, or they can be used as part of system cycles to rip up organic matter, eat insects, eat weed seeds, and increase fertility. All the while the animals are doing what they love to do while also providing eggs and meat. Here, at Zaytuna Farm, we are cell grazing with cattle inside of swale trenches and Muscovy ducks on top of swale mounds.

Ducks, chickens, geese, and turkeys can all be used similarly to the Muscovies. Larger animals like cattle need to be very carefully managed with rotational grazing to prevent damaging the system.

About Geoff:

Geoff is a world-renowned permaculture consultant, designer and teacher. He has established permaculture demonstration sites that function as education centres in all the world’s major climates — information on the success of these systems is networked through the Permaculture Research Institute and the www.permaculturenews.org website.

About Permaculture:

Permaculture (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permacu...) integrates land, resources, people and the environment through mutually beneficial synergies – imitating the no waste, closed loop systems seen in diverse natural systems. Permaculture applies holistic solutions that are applicable in rural and urban contexts and at any scale. It is a multidisciplinary toolbox including agriculture, water harvesting and hydrology, energy, natural building, forestry, waste management, animal systems, aquaculture, appropriate technology, economics and community development.
