In this episode of The Practical Permaculture Podcast, Alysse chats with the ever-thoughtful Hampus — a Swedish sportsman-turned-permaculture enthusiast who swapped snow for sun and now digs deep (literally!) into the soils of the Hunter Valley, Australia.Together, they explore what it’s like to begin the permaculture journey from scratch: think backyard experiments, kid-powered composting, and big dreams of off-grid living. Hampus shares his path from athlete to earth steward, how moving across the globe sparked a new connection to the land, and why teaching kids to grow food is one of the most radical acts we can do.Connect with Hampus:Instagram: @hampustheorganicgardenerWebsite: www.hampustheorganicgardener.comWe live, work, and dream on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander lands.
