Sense making in times of upheaval such as the social unrest and BlackLivesMatter protests of the past week is hard. I believe that long form, thoughtful conversations can help bring forth nuance and ground us in reality better than fragmented and hyped social media. Please enjoy this conversation about race, oppression and history with Rhamis Kent. Kent is a permaculturist based in Cornwall, UK. He grew up in the United States, and as a black man, has come to a nuanced understanding of racism and its perpetuation. This conversation explores the ways in which whiteness is a delusion based on a societal game of musical chairs, of which we've written the rules so that black people are disproportionately destined to lose. Another theme is the way in which, as Van Jones has recently called to attention, liberals and moderates are often those that undermine the Movement for Black Lives the most, in the ways that, when under pressure, they throw their black "allies" under the bus. Rhamis is well-read, and referenced a number of resources that may interest those interested in exploring this subject further. • "Permaculture and Slavery: A System Analysis" by Rhamis Kent: https://www.permaculturenews.org/2013/03/11/permaculture-and-slavery-a-system-analysis/ • Brittish compensation to slave holders: https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20200205-how-britain-is-facing-up-to-its-secret-slavery-history • "The Many-Headed Hydra: Sailors, Slaves, Commoners, and the Hidden History of the Revolutionary Atlantic" by Marcus Redkier and Peter Linebaugh: https://bookshop.org/books/the-many-headed-hydra-sailors-slaves-commoners-and-the-hidden-history-of-the-revolutionary-atlantic/9780807033173 • Bacon's Rebellion (1676-1677): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacon%27s_Rebellion • Van Jones on the liberal threat: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/van-jones-a-white-liberal-hillary-clinton-supporter-can-pose-a-greater-threat-to-black-americans-than-the-kkk/ar-BB14MgOZ • "Nothing is True and Everything is Possible: The Surrealist Heart of New Russia" by Peter Pomerantsev: https://bookshop.org/books/nothing-is-true-and-everything-is-possible-the-surreal-heart-of-the-new-russia/9781610396004

My guest today is someone who has been an inspiration to me since I first began to study permaculture almost a decade ago. Rhamis Kent has been the man behind the scenes for some incredible regeneration projects around the world through his work with the Permaculture Research Institute in the middle east, north and eastern africa, the Iberian peninsula, and many other regions of harsh and challenging climates. Though Rhamis is someone that I could talk to for days about so many different ecological topics, I reached out to him for this session because of a great article and presentation that he put together for the World Permaculture Association about how machinery can be leveraged for positive environmental impact and why we need to use it wisely to regenerate land on an unprecedented scale.  In this episode we start out by examining the economics of land degradation and how machinery has been a big driver in the ecological devastation that we are experiencing all over the world today and how it's misuse has created the conditions for the loss of millions of tons of topsoil every year as well as massive deforestation. Rhamis then goes on to outline how the same technology can be harnessed to completely reverse these trends by outlining a number of machines and tools that work especially well in specific applications. I've also linked to the original article that Rhamis wrote which contains a video presentation of even more information and pictures of the machines that he highlights for those of you who struggle to picture some of the things we talk about here. All those can be found in the show notes on the website  Resources: https://worldpermacultureassociation.com/earth-repair-upscaled/?fbclid=IwAR0G0PHuXX--SwKZAYsPQb2uRQobZM3-LuQYKdyiThY_3iU3odE7JpKD3TE

He also serves as a co-director of the Permaculture Research Institute (PRI), a member of Permaculture Sustainable Consulting Pty Ltd (PSC), and on the Supervisory Board of The Netherlands-registered non-profit Ecosystem Restoration Camps. As of September 2017, he serves as founder & director of Agroecological Natural Technology Systems Ltd. – a Companies House (UK) registered business (#10962612). Rhamis has taught Permaculture Design (formal Certification and short Intensive courses) in Palestine/Occupied West Bank, Greece, Ethiopia, Yemen, Turkey, Thailand, Malaysia, Italy, Jordan, Morocco, Tunisia, Australia, and The United States (Michigan, California & Vermont). He has also performed additional consultancy work on projects in Spain, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Afghanistan, India, Pakistan, Somaliland, and Western Sahara.

Rhamis Kent a former mechanical engineer set out to co-create not a profession but an industry, permaculture. He felt drawn to permaculture after watching a 5 minute movie on it, then co- created the industry and has since worked with many governments around the world with permaculture as well as teaching in countless countries around the world. If you come from a safe profession and ALL you have is passion...you want to hear HOW Rhamis co-created an industry from a passion. LISTEN IN! (p.s and what the heck is permaculture and what was in that 5 min movie that stirred such intense ambitions...) Listen in.

SUBSCRIBE: WWW.EARTHREPAIRRADIO.COM This episode is a deep exploration into the intersection of land use, religion, and the fragmenting of societies. Rhamis has worked and travelled throughout North Africa, The Middle East, Central Asia and Southern Europe, teaching Permaculture and working on projects throughout the region. In this episode we explore the role that land degradation plays in the destabilization of societies, and how it has been a component in the rise of religious fundamentalism and terrorism. Specifically addressed is the situation in Syria with ISIS and the civil war there. Rhamis also goes into his view of Islamic religious zealotry and where it has gone astray from the faith. He talks a lot about his views of Islam and it's connection to his Permaculture work. It's a deep episode. Enjoy the ride!

He has previously worked for the renowned American inventor and entrepreneur Dean Kamen at DEKA Research & Development, with subsequent engineering work ranging from medical device research and development to aerospace oriented mechanical design. After taking an interest in the design science of Permaculture, he sought extended training with permaculture expert and educator Geoff Lawton at the Permaculture Research Institute of Australia. This led to his involvement with design work connected to the development of Masdar City in UAE after Mr. Lawton and his consulting company (Permaculture Sustainable Consultancy Pty. Ltd.) were contracted by AECOM/EDAW to identify solutions which fit the challenging zero emissions/carbon neutral design constraint of the project. EDITORIAL NOTE FROM RHAMIS: I went back to look at that data I quoted about gun violence and needed to correct some of the number I cited (incorrectly): https://www.sciencedaily.com/rel.../2014/12/141217090810.htm Firearm violence facts from 2003 -- 2012 - 300,659 deaths from firearm violence -- more than U.S. combat fatalities in WWII An average of 82.3 deaths every day. - $165 billion in costs to society in 2010 - In 2012, 96.2 percent of all firearm deaths were from homicide and suicide, and 64 percent of deaths from firearm violence were suicides. - Compared to other industrialized nations, the U.S. has a low predisposition to violence but the highest firearm mortality. "The overall death rate from firearm violence in young black males is very high, and there has been little net change since 1999," Wintemute said. Firearm homicides among black males aged 20 to 29 are five times higher than those among Hispanic males and at least 20 times higher than for white males. Homicide rates for black females are also higher than rates for Hispanics and whites. In 2012, firearm homicides were the leading cause of death for black men ages 15 to 24. Among white men, Hispanic men, and black women in that age range, firearm violence ranked second after unintentional injuries. Firearm suicide: White males and females at higher risk The data show that suicides are concentrated among whites, with the risk among white men steadily increasing throughout their lifespans and steeply rising from ages 70 to 74. By 85 and older, suicide for white males was 3.2 times that of Hispanic males and five times that of black males. "With additional research, we can identify other interventions that can reduce firearm violence, which is responsible for more than 30,000 deaths each year," Wintemute said.

This is Episode 1608: Jewish traditions, part of the Faith and Earth Care series. My guest today is Nati Passow, co-founder and executive director of Jewish Farm School. He joins me today to continue the conversation about faith and earth care based, this time looking at the traditions of Judaism. This episode serves as an introduction to these ideas, and Nati's background, as, similar to the conversation with Rhamis Kent and Islam, there is a great deal of ground to cover before getting to the conversation proper, because my understanding of Judaism, is very limited and I pepper the conversation with questions to get myself up to speed. Regardless of your background, however, this is a good place to begin if understanding the cultural underpinnings for the rituals, customs, and beliefs that make up this modern world are part of your permaculture practice. This promises to be the start of something that leads to more practical practices stemming from Jewish teachings.

You can find out more about Nati and his work at Jewish Farm School. Coming out of this, Nati's closing notes grab hold of me and connect the thread of the faiths of Abraham, of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam is the creation story from Genesis. That we come from the earth, made from the dirt, or clay. Those few inches of topsoil that cover the land allow crops to grow and animals to feed. Though the earth is covered by so much water and there are traditions of fisherman, it is still Earth from which we arise in these traditions; faiths that encompass more than half the world's population. From that it seems a natural fit, as a non-theologian, to tend to where we come from, whatever may happen in the next life. What we have is this world, this Eden, given to each of us by virtue of our birth. We are shepherds. Gardeners. Tenders of the wild. If there is any way I can help you to explore these ideas of faith and earth care, get in touch. Give me a call: .
