Hi all, hi Geoff
We all saw the documentary about permaculture in Cuba, and how it became a leading movement in La Havana.
The context was one of crisis and of people starvation.
I saw that you (O, capitain ! my capitain ! Geoff) had been sent in many countries around the world in mission for the UN "high comity of refugees", where permaculture is seen (by the UN) as a last minute solution to feed people who lost everything.
Apparently Permaculture is the rising and "trendy" occupation in Detroit - Detroit = Unemployment rate, nearly 50%
Permaculture is a blooming, boiling movement in western countries, but still quite marginal
(apart from that NY Time article showing a super tiny carrot, as an illustration for the permie harvest, arff arff arff).
My question;
Do you think there is any chance that permaculture would become a true major broad social and ecological movement, BEFORE or WITHOUT people starting to starve ?
When I talk about permaculture, and I want to make a point that it is so important, I noticed I tend to scare people.
It does work, but I'm just trying to diversify my approach..
Thanks
