Permaculture and Localization: Cultivating an Ethic of Care – Morag Gamble

Morag Gamble is an award-winning permaculture teacher and designer and the founder of the Permaculture Education Institute. Over 30 years, she has led permaculture programs in 22 countries across six continents, inspiring countless people to join the practical permaculture revolution. She also curates a blog and practical YouTube channel called Our Permaculture Life, and hosts the Sense-Making in a Changing World podcast.

In this interview, Morag elucidates the deep, mutually reinforcing ties between permaculture - a holistic practical philosophy of reweaving the practices and interdependent relationships of local living - and the localization movement. As Morag puts it in the interview, permaculture "shows the deep possibilities of what a more local way of being can do in terms of nourishing our souls, nourishing our stomachs, nourishing our communities, and nourishing life itself." She shares her experiential wisdom as well as heartening stories that illustrate how local food and community-building practices ripple out into an ethic of care and a sacred regard for the land that gives us life.
