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.
