Always a good idea to join on such an enriching learning g experience

“Permaculture is the art of the possible.”
- Graham Bell

We invite you to our exciting new permaculture webinar series that celebrates solutions and explores opportunities in regenerative design.

By following nature’s guidance in designing our indoor, outdoor, and social spaces, we can proactively address climate change, hunger, biodiversity loss, and other pressing planetary problems.

Join us to learn how redesigning our lives, gardens, farms, and wild places, based on natural patterns that have stood the test of time, can help Earth and all its inhabitants become more resilient and create more abundance during these transformative times.

Regenerative Agriculture instructor David Sussberg shares digital tools for learning about the land, including soil and water patterns to support holistic design.

Permaculture educators Clea Chandmal and Kelda Lorax join a panel with Kavi Reddy and Carla Portugal of the Soil Food Web School exploring opportunities for co-creating a healthy homeworld.

Legendary permaculture design teacher Geoff Lawton shares stories and insights from more than four decades of practical work in the field.

Bestselling author and inspirational speaker Mary Reynolds shares how Acts of Restorative Kindness to the earth can help rewild and restore native ecosystems.

Soil Food Web Foundation Permaculture teachers Kavi Reddy and Delvin Solkinson will host this unique webinar series featuring contributing instructors on the upcoming Soil Food Web Permaculture Design Certificate, provided in cooperation with the Permaculture Association, a legacy of permaculture elder Graham Bell and beloved Soil Food Web founder, Dr. Elaine Ingham.

It is worth it on many things levels - health and care for our most precious resources of life ….. water and soil - nutrition in our food ….. makes sense to you too?

Paying farmers to stop using synthetic chemicals is 45x cheaper than using a water filtration system.

In 1991, Munich, Germany, faced a costly dilemma as nitrate and pesticide levels soared in its drinking water supply. Rather than building an expensive filtration and treatment facility—which would have cost an estimated 46 cents per cubic meter—the city's public utility, Stadtwerke München, took a highly unconventional path.

They calculated that paying local farmers in the Mangfall Valley catchment area to transition to organic farming would cost a mere half-cent per cubic meter.

Realizing that prevention was roughly 45 times cheaper than treatment, the city launched a program to cover farmers' transition costs, certification fees, and temporary income losses.

Thirty years later, the gamble has paid off spectacularly. Over 185 farms converted to organic agriculture, cleaning up Munich's watershed naturally. Nitrate levels dropped by over 50 percent, and pesticide contamination plummeted. Today, Munich stands as one of the only major European metropolises where residents can drink pure, high-quality spring water straight from the tap without any filtration.

Munich's pioneering model shows that investing in healthy, chemical-free soil is not just an environmental triumph—it is a masterclass in municipal economics.
