What does a sustainable food system for the Denver metropolitan area
look like? How can we ensure food security for all into an uncertain
future? What contributions can the sustainable design and ethical
system of permaculture offer to resolving these issues of justice,
ecology, and economics?

Permaculturing Denver -- a workshop on local food systems -- is designed to
answer some of these questions and identify the opportunities and
challenges of the Denver metropolitan foodshed.

Workshop participants will gain a basic understanding of permaculture
and the role it can play in developing more sustainable local food
systems for the densely populated Denver metroplex. They will work
through design issues relating to both an ultimate vision of a
sustainable urban food system, and consider how we get from the present
reality into a better, more resilient future.

The cost of the workshop is $25, and includes lunch on Saturday. Attendance limited to the first 25 people. To
register, contact Tanya Faust at permaculturedenver@gmail.com <mailto:permaculturedenver@gmail.com> or 303-789-1595 <tel:303-789-1595>.
