Designing for Climate Change in your Backyard

Climate change is already having real impacts for people all over the world. In this talk, we’ll look at some strategies for using permaculture design to develop more effective and resilient systems that can help us face increasingly extreme effects of climate change. This includes how to take steps towards growing your own food, managing slope erosion, reducing your energy usage, and bolstering ecological health.
