“There are so many incredible organizations and projects in the Asheville area related to food, sustainable living and job creation. For this event, we crafted a format that would provide a unique chance to participate in cutting-edge next steps for the regional movement towards economic and ecological sustainability.
“We’ve invited the members of this panel to highlight some of the most effective endeavors going on, and provide a new venue for them to work together and get more people involved,” says Zev Friedman (www.livingsystemsdesign.net), an organizer and teacher of the Permaculture in Action program, which the panel is a part of.
The panel also includes Gordon Smith (Asheville City Council member, creator of the Asheville Buncombe Food Policy Council), Dewayne Barton (Co-founder, Green Opportunities), Patricia Allison (Regional Permaculture Teacher, Earthaven Ecovillage), and Tom Knaust (Buncombe County Fruit and Nut Club, CrobMob West).
The event will begin with a brief introduction to Community-Scale Permaculture by Dylan Ryals-Hamilton and Zev Friedman.
There will be an emphasis on collaboration between organizations and individuals who haven’t worked together in the past, and on ways that different people can join in to support and benefit from these projects. The event will begin promptly at 10:45 a.m.
The event is free and open to the public. Please forward and share with your networks.
