Published on Jan 6, 2013
Modern agriculture, industry and finance all extract more than they give back, and the Earth is starting to show the strain. How did we get in this mess and what can we do to help our culture get back on track?
The ecological design approach known as permaculture offers powerful tools for the design of regenerative, fair ways to provide food, energy, livelihood, and other needs while letting humans share the planet with the rest of nature. This presentation will give you insight into why our culture has become fundamentally unsustainable, and offers ecologically based solutions that can help create a just and sustainable society.
This is the sequel to Toby's popular talk, "How Permaculture Can Save Humanity and The Planet, but not Civilization."

"Multi-Tiered Organizational Structure
For us to be effective as Permaculturalists, we must be coherent in our communication and organization. But, we must also maintain the independent and decentralized spirit in which Permaculture was conceived. This model presents five tiers of organizational structure, focusing on the first three: Local, BioRegional, Regional, (Continental, and Global). Groups at each level maintain their independence; the higher levels of organization simply provide us with a way to communicate and cross-pollinate on a larger scale".

Kris Holstrom's off-grid permaculture farm at 9000 feet high is living proof that food can be grown nearly anywhere.
