Julie and the other families in the network practice holistic management to serve as an example to others that handling resources in this way is desirable and accessible. They help to train and demonstrate the manners and methods, while also providing consulting, monitoring, auditing, and incubating new entrepreneurs throughout the bioregion.

From here, the next interview is with Philip Ackerman-Leist, as we discuss how the town of Mals in Italy took public action to push back against pesticide contamination in the community.

Edible Landscaping with a Permaculture Twist Giveaway

Michael Judd, a friend of the show and recurring guest, recently launched a new book on Kickstarter, For The Love of Paw Paws, a mini-manual for Growing, Caring, and Eating North America’s largest native fruit, the Paw Paw.



To celebrate this new project, we’re partnering to give away a copy of his first book, Edible Landscaping with a Permaculture Twist to a listener of the podcast. Between now and March 24, if you would like to enter, email me at show@thepermaculturepodcast.com with the title Paw Paw.

For anyone who donates during this campaign, the artist Lindsay Wilson has created a series of nature-inspired one-of-a-kind mixed-media prints, which I’ll be giving away to some donors.
