‘Aussie Street’ – with David Holmgren (co-originator of permaculture)

David Holmgren will present his multi-media talk ‘Aussie Street’, a speculative eco-narrative seen through the microcosm of four adjacent houses. His soon-to-be-launched book, RetroSuburbia: the downshifter’s guide to a resilient future, shows how Australians can downshift and retrofit their homes, gardens, communities and, above all, themselves to be more self-organised, sustainable and resilient into an uncertain future.

David is best known as the co-originator of the permaculture concept following the publication of Permaculture One in 1978.

David’s talk will be followed by a discussion, networking and nibbles.

An event organised by Local Food Connect, in collaboration with Banyule City Council and Nillumbik Shire Council.
