We are happy to announce the launch of the first international permaculture research survey!


We really hope that you will take part in this survey (will take you about 15minutes) and are as excited as we are about this opportunity to bring permaculture researchers from all over the world together and make our work more visible, effective and connected.

AGM 2011 report

Submitted by Andy Goldring on 23 November 2011 - 3:12pm

A big thanks to all the members that came to this year's AGM held at the Merci centre in Manchester. We had a brilliant turnout with over 95 people for a very full day of workshops and presentations. Andrew Marshall successfully accredited and is now our newest diploma holder.

We said a big thanks to Jan Mulreany of her wonderful work supporting the Association as a Board member, re-elected Stefan Geyer, Philip Blandford and Ed Sears, and elected Rebecca Harris as our newest trustee. We also attracted three new members to attend the next board meeting and go through our trustee induction process for election next time. So a very healthy board with a good mix of 'old hands' and new people getting involved.

You can see some dazzling photos from the event here.
