How the prospect of penury forced David Ransom to

Radio New Internationalist features permaculture design efforts
This program gets down in the dirt to ask
progressive people from around the world: 'How
does your garden grow?' Permaculture may still be
seen by many as the fodder of the fringe, but its
designs are having profound results stopping
starvation, combating climate change, and
creating more cohesive communities. Get ready for
some reasoned realignment as we welcome co-editor
of New Internationalist magazine David Ransom,
and hear how growing your own veggies is a
profoundly political act, challenging the heart of todays consumer culture.
