permaculture

[Michael Pilarski <friendsofthetrees@yahoo.com>]

Cuba is one of our best post-collapse examples.  

Did you know that permaculture was instrumental in Cuba surviving their 
"special period"  and developing their urban farming methods?

It was primarily a crew of permaculturists from Melbourne, Australia working 
for PGAN. A NGO. I was visiting Melbourne in that time period and they told 
me all about it.  

It is great that the 2013 International Permaculture Convergence is being 
held in Cuba.  

Here is a url about it and how US people can attend.

I hope someone posts a good review on this list serve after it happens.

There's the example of Cuba, which after the fall of the Soviet Union was
forced to create an organic, sustainable urban agricultural system.
