Is there an International Permaculture Movement?

It is often said that Permaculture is anarchic to a point of dysfunction ie the movement is made up of individuals and small groups that are not in fact able to sufficiently organise amongst themselves in order to mobilize big changes.

If you’re finding yourself triggered with the above message then contact me, I want to amplify what you’re doing so there can be more of it.

Perhaps this is because permaculture design requires that focus on critical thinking, taking initiative and paying close attention to context first and foremost. Additionally if you ask 300 people what permaculture is about each of these are likely to give you a unique answer. This is because permaculture beyond the courses is a lived experience, most teachers encourage their students to come up with their own definition. Those of us who have an inclination to organise around it each have their own interpretation of what needs doing to move this along so there too you’ll see many ideas and different perspectives.
