        Santa Barbara Permaculture Network (  www.sbpermaculture.org) is a part of the official Support Group for the International Permaculture Conferences (IPC's), along with other communities and individuals around the world. Traditionally IPC's take place every two years and switch between continents.  Past host sites have been in Australia, USA, New Zealand, Scandinavia, Nepal, Croatia, Brazil, and will be held on the African continent for the first time in 2009.  IPC9 is organized by a collaboration of African permaculturists, coordinated by ReSCOPE Programme in Malawi.


  Permaculture has a long history in Africa with well know centers in Kenya, Zimbabwe, Malawi, South Africa and others.  For the first time the International Permaculture Conference (IPC9) will be held on the African continent in 2009.  Plan Africa - Food & Empowerment, is the theme for the Conference. A major goal of IPC9 is to establish the structure to bring permaculture training and knowledge to all countries of Africa.  IPC9 will bring government and world press attention to grassroots permaculture work by showcasing the sites and projects already underway.   African organizers are committed to bringing participants from every  economic sector and region  to attend.
