Large-scale collective action is urgently needed to address climate threats while also transforming our economy. The means for achieving this are as yet dimly grasped and poorly organized. Permaculture has many of the answers that will be required to address such perils, yet it has no effective voice.
The Permaculture Institute of North America therefore wants to recruit, train, fund, and employ skilled permaculture designers, educators, and organizers to move the many aspects of our planetary predicament: climate chaos, land degradation, economic dislocation, and community distress, toward positive outcomes.
