Permaculture Life and Work - Matt Powers with Morag Gamble
About this episode
In this episode of Sense-making in a Changing World, I am thrilled to share with you this conversation with fellow permaculture [pr]activist, Matt Powers who is based on the north west coast of the USA.
Matt Powers is an permaculture author, educator, seed saver, gardener, and entrepreneur focused on radically transforming the entire K-12 education system. Like me, his world revolves around permaculture thinking and action.
Matt, a former public high school teacher with a Masters degree in Education, is the author of the first government accredited permaculture curriculum in North America (fully cited, peer-reviewed, & aligned to national standards), and his work continues to spread in schools, colleges, and universities globally with over a dozen books in 6 languages and 9 online courses. You can download his Permaculture Education Standards.
Hi recent book Regenerative Soil is the ultimate book on soils for permaculture practitioners - one for your own shelf, and a special gift for a garden and soil-loving friend.
You can DOWNLOAD his book The Permaculture Student 1 for free and also access his E-book version of The Permaculture Student 2 for free too. Fabulous content.
Matt is a wealth of permaculture knowledge and experience offered so joyfully and enthusiastically. It was great to chat with a fellow educator and permaculture (un)homeschooler
Enjoy this conversation and check out all the free resources he has available in the links above.
