There sure is a lot of exciting, great news coming from all directions with
permaculture going mainstream and getting a lot of attention. It must be
2012, LOL!  I have some good news to share, too.

I was just hired by the Chamber of Commerce of St Petersburg, FL, as the
Sustainable Urban Agriculture Coordinator for the city of St Petersburg
(250,000, Zone 9b-10A, Florida Gulf Coast beach town). The purpose of the
position is to help make St Pete a model community for sustainable urban
agriculture. This is a pretty exciting position for a permaculturist to have!
I'm hoping to raise a lot of awareness about permaculture in the process and
maybe even get it broadly used... 

The project has openings for one or two graduate interns as support, and I
would like to find someone who has permaculture experience, particularly in
urban ag, for the position. The position is for one year, it pays $3500
(matching funds may be available), and it is fairly intensive work.

Skills that would be useful would be (and not all of these are needed in one
candidate!):  Urban ag experience (semi-tropical a plus), community
organizing experience, database experience, GIS capability, asset/data
mapping, Drupal, very good collaboration and people skills with a variety of
cultural and ethnic groups, good research skills, fund raising/grant writing,
experience with community process (i.e. open source, charettes, etc).  The
person would need to relocate to St Petersburg for one year (hey, not a bad
place, beach town on the Gulf with a rapidly expanding
permaculture/transition community...).

The people skills are important - this is a project that has some strong
community support and involvement and it will be successful to the degree
that we create and facilitate even more community. 

This could turn into a more long term position as we will be creating jobs
with this project. There are other opportunities starting to open up here in
various colleges as well.  

I will need assistance with:

--Creating a public database of community needs and resources re: sustainable
urban agriculture in St Petersburg.
--Setting up an online "portal" providing interactive tools to facilitate
communication and collaboration between people interested in and/or
practicing sustainable urban agriculture
--Facilitating existing projects to add value and create opportunity via
those projects
--Develop an inventory of existing farms, gardens, sales outlets and other
urban agriculture resources. We will be doing this in the form of an asset
map.
--Completing a Blueprint/Vision and Strategic Plan for making St Petersburg a
model for Sustainable Urban Agriculture in the US
--Raising the funds to enable the strategic plan to be carried out and for
this program to continue

Please forward this to anybody you know who might be a good candidate for
this position...

Best, 

Koreen Brennan

Eveb though permaculture is not a tread or fad it may have to be one for this
exciting movement. When all of our societies systems break down permaculture
will break throught the concrete cracks and give us the natural world that
has been destroyed for so many years.


The Great Challenges we now face as a species present the very opportunities
that are giving birth to Ecological, Psychological, and Spiritual
Sustainability.
