in grave danger of falling food - discussion
in early 2009, i attended a free screening of bill mollison’s documentary/editorial called ‘in grave danger of falling food,’ which discussed the fundamentals of the permaculture movement. i was able to snag some understandable audio of the following discussion (i have very basic equipment, so my mini-microphone didn’t pick up everything very well), moderated by karen stupski, associate of the heathcote intentional community. in two parts.
permaculture discussion, part 1. ~17.00min.
permaculture discussion, part 2. ~15.5min.
