Patterns for Abundance brings a broad range of experience to guide you through the process of creating abundant, polycultural systems full of food and income, for your family or community. By applying fundamental ecological principles and careful attention we work to reveal, reevaluate, map, list, measure and magnify the abundance already present or potential in your landscape or bioregion. We can also identify the "leaks" (of energy, money$, water, species, or nutrients) in your system and suggest essential "repairs" necessary to plug them.
