> What is Dream Farm 2?
>
> Many people have asked what exactly is Dream Farm 2. There
> are several answers. First of all, Dream Farm 2 is a model
> of an integrated, ‘zero-emission’, ‘zero-waste’ highly
> productive farm that maximises the use of renewable energies
> and turns ‘wastes’ into food and energy resources, thereby
> completely obviating the need for fossil fuels. It is our
> answer to the energy crisis and climate change, and more.
> It is a microcosm of a different way of being and becoming
> in the world, and in that respect, nothing short of a social
> revolution.
>
> In a way, I have dedicated the past 20 years to developing
> the idea, and trying to live up to it.
