Want to listen to more conversations about Permaculture?
During the conversation time talk about international permaculture and the French permaculture movement; what books, materials, and classes are available in that region folks interested in getting involved in Permaculture, including what staples of the literature have and have not been translated so far; and how that selection of books leads to the search for climate analogues and the authors writing for that region of the world. Along the way, Perrine shares what it's been like to transition transition to a life of farming, finding permaculture, and with it a way to move forward as a farmer. Together she and Charles are raising their family and food together, while spreading permaculture throughout France and, with the publication of this book, the world.
