Unlike some Polynesian, and other island societies, the Tikopians managed to persist on their tiny island.

The description below of their managed food forest is classic Permaculture, but invented years before our understanding. They must have observed and mimicked the layered rainforest to create a food forest to sustain them. We've lost so much from past societies.

Jared Diamonds book 'Collapse' offers us some solutions to our current problems, as well as warnings. It's not too late to change.
