About Ice Age Farmer
Ice Age Farmer was founded by permaculturist and homesteader Christian Westbrook, whose work focuses on a deep examination of the future of our food supply and the myriad risks from the increasing centralization and control of food. He advocates a rapid move back to decentralized, locally grown, regenerative food systems, and produces videos, interviews, and tools (Growing Degree Days, Crop Loss Map, Wiki and Maps) to help others put these solutions into practice for themselves.
