A little note about me:
My name is Wendi Bellows and I am a Ph.D. student in Interdisciplinary
Ecology at the University of Florida and have been a permie for more than 10
years. That is why I am undertaking social research related to Permaculture
for my dissertation. I have noticed that Permaculture has remained on the
fringe of the mainstream since its birth in the 1970s. Therefore, a main
focus of my dissertation research is to discover and better understand the
barriers of diffusion of Permaculture to more mainstream farmer populations
in the U.S. and Australia. I would like to make this process as inclusive and
helpful to the Permaculture movement as possible.
Thank you!
