permaculture

["Jo Tenner" <jotenner@mpx.com.au>]

Hi to all on the permaculture list,

I just thought that I would share with you some of the work that I have
done on this very topic.

I have completed a critique of the Penan Permaculture project which I
presented at a conference last year in China on Biodiversity and
Indigenous Knowledge.

I have been working on putting together a general review of permaculture
programs conducted in Vietnam and Cambodia by Rosemary Morrow over the
last decade (this project has been on hold for the last year but I will be
picking it up in June)

I have been involved in the past with the ACF’s program of permaculture
development aid, in particular the Sri Lanka program, but I have an
awareness of the Cuba program and many other permaculture projects.

I am currently undertaking a Masters in Agriculture and Rural development
at Uni of Western Sydney – Hawkesbury and endeavour to use this course to
facilitate my curiosity about the actual value of permaculture to
communities and individuals in ‘difficult’ contexts.

I whole heartedly agree with the sentiments of this thread and would be
happy to talk further at any time.
