A personal mantra from mentor Geoff Lawton – how to move Potential energy and water through a landscape through the most circuitous path from low potential\/high energy elevations to high potential\/low energy bottom lands. This helps expand the \u201cedge effect\u201d \u2013 a place where subsystems mingle and create diversity and abundance.<\/p>\n
