Episode notes

Water in the long run is way more important than oil. There's a lot of places where we're already there. With climate, there's going to be a higher standard deviation of rainfall as evidenced by this week. Because permaculture deal with only arid dry, like, how do we get more water? Is it also deal with too much water issues and how to deal with that? Permaculture is a design system. It's a lens. And you can apply this permaculture perspective to any situation, any climate zone.

On this episode, permaculture expert and educator Andrew Millison joins us to unpack how we can better design our societal infrastructure and agriculture to be more attuned with the water, solar, and “geomorphic” conditions of our surroundings. When critical resources become scarce, it is more important than ever that communities learn to do more with less. By focusing on resiliency and stability through systems thinking, permaculture is a design system which does just that. In a world that often feels beyond our control, how can we use permaculture design to work with the land rather than against it, and regain agency in our local food, water, and social systems?
