Today's guest was the ever fabulous, award-winning, accredited permaculture teacher, Elisabeth Fekonia from Permaculture Realfood. What a great convo it was too. We discussed permaculture a little bit, but moved quickly on to her other passion - “Real Food". From sauerkraut to cheese making to sourdough bread, we discussed why it is so important to include real food into our diets, but also how wholesome it can be making it yourself. It all works up to becoming self-sufficient. Elisabeth works to her mission statement - "Teaching people to help themselves to their own home food production."  "After a decade of learning the skills of self-reliance in growing and producing our own food, I felt that it was imperative to pass my skills on to others so that they too might do the same. It has been an exciting journey of discovering the lost art of home cheese making, sourdough bread, and making wine made from surplus fruit. I learnt that fermenting food such as sourdough and cheese making has many health advantages and it's also about reviving forgotten skills from the past. I don't have a country bone in my body as I was born and raised in Amsterdam, migrated with my family to Australia in 1964, and settled in the suburbs in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. At 21 I left the suburbs for a country life and haven't looked back since. After moving to Samford, a village just northwest of Brisbane, I had found my niche. I learned how to spin and knit wool, I made my own shoes and clothes and learned how to make bread and soap, and started some vegetable and herb gardens, and generally enjoyed myself. Eventually, after moving from Samford I discovered the Sunshine Coast and have lived in Conondale, Kin Kin, and now at Black Mountain west of Cooroy. Global crisis or not, self-sufficiency is my drive, I wouldn't live anywhere else but in the country. I love the life of growing and producing our own food. The workshops, seminars, and organic gardening courses are a result of all the things I have learnt over the years, and they help teach people to grow and produce their own food. It might seem daunting at first, but it's up to you to decide what you can do with regards to producing your own food because if I can do it, anyone can. I'm only too happy to share my knowledge and experiences to help you on the road to your food security. I'm sure you'll never look back when you do." -- Thank you for watching.

Professor Ian Lowe has committed himself to do all he can to make this a better world. The Griffiths University Professor works from his Sunshine Coast home and from there engages with a host of people, including spending some time chatting with Climate Conversations. Climate Conversations first came across Professor Lowe at the Cooroy, Queensland, non-fiction book festival several years ago where he talked about his then-latest book, "A Big Fix". However, since then he has written another book, "The Lucky Country? Reinventing Australia", something of an ironic look at Donald Horne's, "The Lucky Country".
