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 today’s consumer culture.

    * Permaculturalist Pam Morgan shows us around 
the rooftops, corridors and workplaces of urban 
Cuba – places conscripted for growing fruits and 
vegetables to successfully stave of food shortages.
    * Chris Evans tells us about how young people 
are putting down their guns to make Edible Earth 
in Nepal. (Chris is the Country Representative 
for Appropriate Technology Asia (ATA) Nepal, and 
advisor of Himalayan Permaculture Group).
    * Jonathan Dawson, President of Global 
Ecovillages, explains how permaculture principles 
are outperforming carbon offsets in bringing down greenhouse gas emissions.
    * And while we’re talking about more creative 
consuming, author Sharon Beder adds her thoughts 
about compulsive market disorders.
This week’s album is an old favourite: Rene 
Lacaille and Bob Brozman’s fabulous CD DigDig, 
where the pulse of the Pacific melts into the arms of Bluegrass and Latin.
