The dystopia is lessened as we put our energy toward growing gardens, staying grounded and participating as good citizens within our communities. Get intensively local and trust that the WEF/Bilderberg cretins while mentally & rather short-sighted may not be suicidal.
The first sentence deserves a Hear, Hear! If the global elite want to suicide themselves for sudden realization of what they've done, I have no problem with that!
Australia has a lot of different climates. I doubt (very much) that you could grow pears near Cobram or Shepparton (a big fruit growing region) without irrigation.
Lawton seems worth some time reading or listening to though. I'm not sure if I've come across him before or not.
I participated in a Permaculture Design Course back in '13 he was the teacher. I have modeled my holdings after his and they serve me well (in this age of decline).
Geoff told one story about drought when his neighbor whose fields were burnt up told him that he was lucky. Lucky my ass, he planned for drought while his neighbor didn't.
That is what this whole civilization is; planning for happiness with hope instead of planning for reality.
I think Australian farmers have planned on something like 1 year in 7 is a drought. But lately it's been a little more than that. How does permaculture handle 200mm of rain a year and 45ºC summer days, do you know (genuine question).
Yes I do know, store it in the soil via swales on contour and dams in the appropriate placements. Will also have to change the farming methodology (that's the harder part!). There is a science behind it and takes time to learn.
Still time to start a garden, all you need is a main frame design.

Understand the sentiment but meant it as maybe they too like to eat? Farming must be essential to their gourmet farm-to-table ways.
The Murray River (assuming that's the one that you mean) is kind of like the Nile isn't it.
I read Geoff Lawton's website, he never has drought problems in OZ.

The system isn't for large operations or feeding useless eaters living in cities though, if you get my gist.
