has also been active in promoting permaculture through workshops, presentations

Creating a Local Food System
- why its important to buy local organic food
- key elements and options in building a local food system
- who's doing what in the lower mainland
Format
I am intending to do it lecture style for about 40 min, followed by 20 min of
discussion. I'm open to suggestions, bearing in mind that I have very little
time to prepare a 'workshop'. If the intent is to initiate group action, another
meeting could be arranged for those interested. (Of course, I have a solution
all canned and ready to go. Its called Neighbours Organic Weekly Buying Clubs). |
