avid Holmgren joins me to talk about his work on revising his now-classic text, Permaculture: Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability. His focus in doing so was to give the book greater clarity, to make it more accessible, and a little easier for a novice to approach. Starting in that space, we also talk about the evolution of Permaculture principles in general, whether we should talk about resilience as a principle or system characteristic, before moving on to talk about the security that comes from growing our own food.

Hannah Apricot Eckberg, the editor of Permaculture Magazine, North America, joins me to share her role in the creation and launch of the latest North American permaculture periodical. Along the way, we talk about how permaculture practitioners, especially media producers whether they are publishers or podcasters, can engage in some cooperatition, a friendly form of cooperative competition, and cooperation to strengthen the community and our own individual work. That there is room for more producers.

Eddy of Living Earth Systems returns, this time joined by his partner Sam, to continue discussing the ways we can work naturally with living systems to create clean water. The first time he joined us was to share his natural aquaponics system, but this time around talks about how we can use those same ideas to create natural swimming pools.

In today’s episode, David Bilbrey returns to the host seat with Fred Kirschenmann. Fred joins us again to share more about his work at the Aldo Leopold Center for Sustainable Agriculture at Iowa State University and Stone Barns Center for Food and Agriculture and how those two places are working to allow us to plan not only for the world we have now but also for our descendants. The solutions come in multiple forms, from the ways we can use plants in our fields to increase yields while regenerating soil, and the cultural changes that are coming as the children and grandchildren of the Baby Boomer generation reject consumerism and focus on a more community-centered life.

Giulianna Maria Lamanna, of The Fifth World , drops a huge two-part question on us in this episode, a continuation of the MAPC 2016 Q&A.
1. Are there people in the permaculture community talking about climate change and the impact of global warming on invasive species?2. Is it our responsibility as permaculture practitioners to create new ecosystems for the changing climate?
This conversation leads to thoughts on preserving native ecosystems, the creation of novel ecosystems, the role and influence of exotic species, human disturbance, and the forces of erosion. We're also asked to examine our own  role we have in tending the wild, and what responsibility, if any, we have to domesticated species such as chickens?In doing so, can we take back the stewardship of our own habitat?Voices you'll hear include:Eva Taylor of Ironwood Farms
Zach Elfers of Nomad Seed Project
Ben Weiss of Susquehanna Permaculture
Jason Godesky of The Fifth World
Nicole Luttrell of Wind Song Farm
Claudia Joseph of New York Permaculture Exchange
Seppi Garrett of Seppi’s Place
Dale Hendricks of Green Light Plants
Dr. Christopher HuvosGet in touchThe Permaculture PodcastThe Permaculture PodcastInstagramFacebookTwitterPodcast NeedsLiving in the Gift, as Ethan Hughes reminds me, requires asking for our needs to be met.The following are some things I could use right now to make continuing the podcast easier:- A laptop capable of running the Adobe Creative Cloud Suite, including a full HD (1080p) screen, 8GB RAM, and an i5 processor. Due to the amount of data I handle, a 512GB HDD or larger would be great. Any specs above those are golden.- A low mileage hybrid vehicle to replace a minivan with 200k miles on it.- Healthcare. Because of the way the U.S. system work, the coverage I can afford is not accepted by my allergist or other specialists. At the moment the most pressing need is for assistance covering my next, and hopefully last, vial of yellow jacket venom as part of my immunotherapy treatment.If you would like to discuss or know more about any of these, feel free to send me an email:The Permaculture PodcastIf you are able to give towards any of these efforts:https://www.paypal.me/permaculturepodcastDrop something in the mail:The Permaculture PodcastThe Permaculture PodcastOr via BitCoin, my wallet address is:193R8iDwyqN4EmqzWBabMQgwLU4T2ovwVB

Patricia Daly, on the left in the picture above, joins me to talk about her book The Ketogenic Kitchen, and the possible health benefits of a high fat, moderate protein, low carbohydrate diet. Her work with this diet come from her own experiences as a cancer patient seeking complimentary therapies. Through information emerging in Europe she found research showing a ketogenic diet as effective when combined with traditional therapies, which in her case were radiation treatments. Undertaking this diet while continuing radiotherapy she was able to, as you will hear, quite literally see the results.
