In 2015, I interviewed Taj Scicluna, The Perma Pixie, and the two conversations we released were ones that transformed my personal perspective of permaculture. As Dave Jacke, Larry Santoyo, and Mark Lakeman moved my thoughts from permaculture as a land-based practice to a larger, holistic system applicable to most human needs for design, Taj's thoughts on a fourth ethic, of transition, gave me an understanding of the precarious place we find ourselves in as we create the designs that lead to a more bountiful world for all life on Earth. Given all the issues we face from landscape degradation to economic programs that require our participation in systems we don't agree with to politics and policies we have little individual control over, there is room to be gentle with ourselves and others as we find a way to navigate our own path through these dynamically changing times.   You can find Taj's work at thepermapixie.com, which includes links to her Patreon and her presence around the web. Become an ongoing member of the podcast Patreon community This interview, this season, and the fact that this marks 10 years since I graduated from my permaculture design course, and started the show, leaves me in a reflective place. I think about what Taj said about passion, and all the things I love about hosting this show and sharing all of these personal stories with you. With a decade and hundreds of episodes behind us, I'll continue this work for as long as I can knowing that it will ebb, flow, and change over time. Starting next Spring, that includes expanding to visual storytelling with filmed interviews and site tours. Though I'll keep producing the long-form interviews that became what this show was known for, I'm looking to partner with other people who have interviews they want to record and share. I'd also like to teach you what I do so that more people get involved in recording their own interviews and sharing them with the world. These conversations reflect a form of community storytelling that connects us to other people around the world and, I think, make the world a smaller, more closely connected place as we create virtual villages of like-minded people. So if you're interested in becoming a contributor to The Permaculture Podcast, have a question you'd like answered in an upcoming episode, someone to suggest for an interview, or to become a student of podcast storytelling, send me an email: The Permaculture Podcast As this 10th anniversary episode draws to a close, whether this is your first time listening or you've been with me from day one, Thank You for being a part of the journey so far and for walking alongside me as we see what the future has to offer.  Until the next time, spend each day exploring your passion and sharing your unique story, while taking care of Earth, yourself, and each other.

Like a lot of folks, Rob Herring was concerned about the toxic systems that produce our food, though he knew practically nothing about alternative farming methods. But through a series of events, he become involved with the campaign to label genetically modified foods in California.  From there, his journey eventually led him to making a film about solutions. The film, entitled "The Need to Grow," shares some amazing stories of people who are growing food in ways that do not include toxins; build more nutrient density; and actually help to nurture and improve the land. They wanted to focus on what can be done on a local, community level and ask, "What powers do we have at our fingertips?" The stories they uncovered open a whole new world of possibilities that are being explored, but are perhaps not being publicized as much as they should be. Rob and Ryan connected with Larry Santoyo of The Permaculture Academy in Los Angeles, who shares about permaculture, a system of design that's based on how nature works and is transforming how we grow food all over the world. They also met a powerful 9 year old activist who started a petition to get GMOs out of Girl Scout Cookies. One story led to another, organically, you might say. Thus they were led to a farm called Alegria Fresh that grows a huge amount of nutrient dense food on a relatively small parcel of land using alternative techniques with much less water and fertilizer. They also visited a place in Montana called the Green Powerhouse that diverts waste products from the landfill to create soil amendments and energy. Incredibly, the system is contained within a pyramid. Rob shares some fascinating stories from his journey, that show what average folks are doing to provide powerful solutions to some of our most vexing ecological and health problems. But Rob and Ryan need some financial help in launching the project.  If you're interested in supporting them, please go to their kickstarter page, here.

"Instead of trying to support 1000's of people, let's get really good at supporting 150 people and we'll duplicate it." Once we do that we will have models that we can refer back to. Models that can be used to train people to go start other small impact zones. Then we start getting more and more impact zones, and suddenly the picture looks a lot brighter. But that will take time, and it's early in the journey, but the conditions are ripe for change. We just need to kick start it, by incubating innovation.Creating the conditions for success and sustainability to happen, something that I learned from Larry. In fact it's one of the many things that I have learned from Larry. Larry has a wealth of knowledge and the experience to back it up.

Larry has been a teacher and practitioner of Permaculture Design for the last 28 years. After a career in law enforcement, Santoyo went onto land use planning and was mentored by Permaculture's founding father, Bill Mollison. Santoyo went on to teach Permaculture with Mollison around the US and Australia. He has taught environmental design at colleges and universities nationwide, including UC Berkeley, UC Santa Cruz, Evergreen College, CSU Northridge, and Cal Poly San Luis Obispo.  He is also the Senior Designer at Earthflow Designs of Los Angeles, one of the largest Permaculture companies in the world. The firm specializes in planning and design that integrates economic development strategies with ecological systems management in residential, commercial and municipal projects. Listen here and learn about: His interesting and circuitous path to permaculture design Trying to define permaculture Why he thinks no one actually DOES permaculture What he thinks is the most important thing to learn about permaculture design Learn who influenced him the most Why he does not want Permaculture to become “mainstream” and what he wants instead What he recommends for those new to permaculture design Becoming a teacher of Permaculture and Permaculture design Definitions of 'Sectors' a term used a lot in permaculture conversations and His advice on what the single biggest contribution each of us can make https://www.urbanfarm.org/blog/podcast/

We’ll answer questions such as:Does permaculture need a new name, a consistent definition?Should permaculture reject the mainstream?Should permaculture go the mainstream?Should everyone learn permaculture, why or why not?Support the show at patreon.com/diegofooter

Most of the world’s human population in now urban. Permaculture designer and teacher Larry Santoyo will examine the permaculturist’s role in city planning and it’s direct relevance to wilderness protection, resource management and cultural curation. Larry will lead the discussion and share his lessons learned on projects. Learn more at permaculturevoices.com/b24

Today's episode is a permabyte review of the forthcoming book by Toby Hemenway, The Permaculture City. Exciting, isn't it? Toby Hemenway has a new book coming out and I'll just go ahead and say it: it is incredible. I received an advance copy, clocking in at 288 pages, from the publisher Chelsea Green and, even though I'm a slow reader, sat down and read the whole thing, cover to cover, in a day. What I like about this book is that the way it is written and organized reminds me of my own permaculture path. In the beginning there is an examination of the ethics and principles and why they matter. Then there is an look at design and considering techniques, but then stepping back and to organize our thoughts with the tools provided by the permaculture design process. To re-examine the elements and how they relate to systems. As that understanding grows to take another step and use small examples, such as water systems, to expand our thoughts further and realize there is more to this work than just the land and includes the people involved with caring for it, for maintaining it, and that those living communities matter. They embody why we care for Earth, care for people, and share the surplus. As importantly Toby also addresses the real fact that we can't expect everyone to become hunter-gatherers again or subsistence farmers. Even if we could that idea isn't reflective of the resiliency that permaculture design engenders. Using resiliency as a basis he uses several examples, including home and community gardening, water, and energy use, as informal case studies to explore how to apply the principles to step back and ask bigger questions so we can create useful strategies. This last point is important because, to me, The Permaculture City is a book about better understanding our design strategies, those often nebulous ideas that separate the philosophical underpinnings of permaculture, the ethics and principles, from the techniques that represent the physical practice that all of our on-paper design results in. There is time for techniques when we implement, but that can only come after consideration and design. For those of you familiar with the Zone and Sector design models in permaculture, they are both upon throughout the provided examples. I was left with a new understanding of how to apply these, especially to social systems. Chapter Nine in particular, on Placemaking and The Empowered Community, took me in a whole new direction. Though I've used these methods repeatedly in the past after seeing them applied in the context of the various examples I come to agree with what Larry Santoyo says, which is quoted in this book, “Sectors trump everything.” I'm now going back and examining some of my designs, including landscape, social, and economic, to see where my sector analysis may be weak. My thoughts on permaculture moving beyond the the landscape started several years ago when I interviewed Dave Jacke, Larry Santoyo, and Mark Lakeman in short succession. Reading this book has helped to continue my shift in thinking about permaculture, and in about the time it would take you to go back and listen to those interviews you can sit down and be well into this wonderful book and have an even greater understanding of how permaculture applies to so many human systems, but also how to start asking the questions that can take your understanding of design to the next level. I've been in this field for half a decade now and this book is a welcome addition to my library. It came at the right time, but I can't help but wish that I would have been ready for it and received it sooner. Overall I like Toby's latest book so much that I'm putting it on my recommended reading list, especially for someone new to permaculture. After you've read Masanobu Fukuoka's The One-Straw Revolution, Donella Meadows' Thinking in Systems, Rosemary Morrow's Earth User's Guide to Permaculture, and David Holmgren's Permaculture: Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability, read The Permaculture City and take your design well beyond the landscape. The Permaculture City goes into publication on July 15, 2015 and you can pre-order a copy through the Chelsea Green website for $24.95. https://www.chelseagreen.com/bookstore/item/the_permaculture_city I am expecting to receive a final print copy of the book when it goes to press and will include that in the Traveling Permaculture Library Project. If you'd like to be a part of that cycle of giving, and receive a random book related to the broad umbrella of permaculture, email your name and address to librarian@thepermaculturepodcast.com and Matt Winters will take care of you. Until the next time, take care of Earth, your self, and each other. Correction: When originally recorded and posted the publication date for this book was September 14, 2015. The release date has since been moved up to July 15, 2015.

Episode 13: Ecological Designer and Permaculture Instructor Larry Santoyo talks about thistles. More interesting than you might think, thistles play an important role in soil restoration.  Larry tells us about the intrinsic characteristics of thistles, why the Earth calls them in, and what effect they have on the landscape.  After listening you may gain a new appreciation for this prickly, unpopular plant!
