Want to know more about permaculture? How it can help women and the planet, and how permaculture can help restore and protect forests?

I recently recorded this Courageous Conversation with Pollyanna Darling of the Treesisters. This is a series about celebrating the voices, wisdom and courage of women around the world.

Pollyanna and I explored how permaculture is a design system for one planet living, and talked about the link between permaculture and protecting and restoring forests.

Permaculture is at its core about forest conservation and regeneration. Listen in to our conversation by clicking the link above.

In Masterclass #18, I focus on a range of permaculture approaches to storing carbon, plus how to simply repair soil, grow soil and grow great food.

This clip (54 min) is part of the free online permaculture masterclass series that I present each month. These are all sponsored by the Permaculture Education Institute Masterclass topics are always selected by the participants of previous sessions and the Permaculture Educators’ Program.

Permaculture as climate action

In this session, I explore positive permaculture climate action through good soil building strategies to significantly drawdown carbon and grow great local food. The focus of this session is particularly for a household and community scale, but there is also reference to broader regenerative agriculture strategies. I explore:

1. 1.  making soil repair a priority
   2.  a focus on perennials
   3.  methods of least disturbance
   4.  covering and protecting the soil
   5. feeding your garden biochar
   6. adding compost (a whole range of different types)
   7. doing no-dig gardening
   8. supporting regenerative farmers
   9.  teaching and sharing permaculture
