Village Vancouver

Vancouver's Leader in Transition toward Strong, Resilient, Complete Communities

Information

Permaculture Village

Transition is based on, and inspired by,  Permaculture principles. Permaculture is permanent agriculture and permanent culture. We will be approaching 'creating sustainable habitat' in many different ways: regular design & demonstration projects; Social permaculture; workshops. Permablitzes, Blitzes or Permaculture Energy Transfer or Pet Day are days that we go on site collectively create systems which cycle energy toward win win win economy. Food forests provide abundant gardens and parks for all, and structures are working in many ways, creating shade, capturing heat, collecting water. Together we will explore ecological urban and rural design.

Your village starts in your heart, and radiates outward. Seeds are currency. Trade them for chocolate.

Permaculture Strategies for 2012

Gregoire Lamoureux has been teaching & working with Permaculture for over 20 years in many parts of the country. He will share his experience of implementing a permaculture design on a small farm in the Kootenays. And he will also be talking about permaculture strategies that can be implemented on a smaller scale in the city. Other topics covered in the presentation will include the challenges & opportunities of working with permaculture in Canada.

For anyone who's interested, Jesse Lemieux from Pacific Permaculture will be giving a talk tomorrow at Strut Studios as part of the Spring Lecture Series.

It's called 80-20 Rule: A Permaculture Lesson from Uganda.

Don't know exactly how this works, but here it is on Meetup:

Discussion Forum

Food

Local, organic, rural, and/or urban, food production is a mainstay of life, and doing it well leads to wellness. From farm to kitchen, discussions relating to food--and the community arising around it--belong here.

Transportation

If you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around.

5 discussions

Housing

A human right? After food, most feel shelter is the most important necessity. A place of shelter is also the start of a community. This category is for all things relating to shelter, housing, affordable housing, homes, renewable heating systems, green buildings, heritage, and our built environment in general.
