Permaculture, Food Systems, and Purpose: An Interview with Meteorologist, Mitch Rawlyk

As we prepare to go live with our Permaculture Design Conference Sep 23-25, we wanted to ask our speakers some preliminary questions about the Permaculture movement at large.

(The Conference is FREE, learn more here: https://vergepermaculture.ca/permaculture-design-conference/)

In this conversation between Mitch Rawlyk and Ben Dunn, both Environmental Technologists with Verge Permaculture, they take a bigger picture look at our food systems and how Permaculture offers a number of solutions to make things more sustainable in the long term.

They discuss how Permaculture provides a framework toward living a more purposeful life, and tell stories about how studying Permaculture has brought about a number of positive changes in their own lives.
