Growing food,
. . . in one of the planet's harshest regions,
. . . seems like an impossible task,
but, it appears that through the principles of permaculture, and
. . . a lot of dedication,
. . . it can be done.

Benjamin Vidmar,
. . . had initially wanted to do a permaculture project in Florida,
. . . where he presently spends a month each year,
. . . but something told him to do it here in Longyearbyen.

There was a huge need for Permaculture,
. . . as we presently dump all sewage directly into the sea without any treatment facility.
. . . We also mine and burn coal.
. . . All produce is shipped and flown in,
. . . so he basically believe's the place chose him,
. . . to help make this place more sustainable.
