Introducing a new webinar series hosted by the Permaculture Association of
the Northeast (PAN). We will host a series of webinars designed to answer
the question from our members, What can we do now that weve finished our
Permaculture Design Certification (PDC) course? We will examine a number
of permaculture career pathways local to the Northeast and all across the
world. Our first topic of discussion is highlighting permaculture-based
disaster relief efforts by women working in Puerto Rico, Nepal and Austria.

A Conversation on Permaculture and Disaster Relief: Shifting from aid and
dependence to solidarity and self determination
Date/Time: Friday January 26th 10-11 AM USA ET
A conversation with Tara Rodriguez Besosa, Prabina Shrestha and Pippa
Buchanan hosted by the Permaculture Association of the Northeast (PAN) and
sponsored by Resilience Planning and Design, NH. Learn how these
practitioners are using permaculture-based skills to help in disaster relief
efforts as a form of solidarity and social justice work in their respective
countries of Puerto Rico, Nepal, and Australia.
Pippa Buchanan is a resilience and sustainability educator based in Linz,
Austria and originally from Adelaide, Australia. Her focus is in working
with individuals and groups to discuss, experiment and develop how they can
develop safe and abundant futures for their households, organisations and
communities. She is also a researcher at Permaculture and Disaster Risk
Reduction. Pippas work is informed by permaculture, community-driven
action and open technologies and processes.
Prabina Shrestha is the Village/Program Coordinator of Nepal's Resilience
Through Recovery program. Her work is focused in Nuwakot and Kavre, two
villages in the center region of Nepal (Katmandu). RTR is the program
started from a need to see an integration of Permaculture systems response
with the rebuilding community after the 2015 earthquake. Local partner, the
Himalayan Permaculture Centre, supports locally trained barefoot
consultants, while the Kamala Foundation provides financial support to
Prabina's Sunrise Farm to help with coordination. Prabina says, "We are
working in two villages. In both cases nearly 100% of houses were destroyed
or damage."
Tara Rodríguez Besosa of the Food Department, manages The Resilience Fund of
Puerto Rico, which is based on five support pillars: Seeds + Sowing directed
by Mara Nieves / Reforestation led by Steve Maldonado Silvestrini from La
Reselva / Renewable Energy / Water Collection of Rain / Well-being. Says
Tara, The Resilience Fund aims to impact 200 plantings in the next 24
months after the passage of Hurricane Maria. Support for sustainable
agriculture is of great value for the just recovery of our country. Puerto
Rico deserves well-being, health, prosperity and local food that does not
pollute our ecosystems.
The Resilience Fund collaborates with other projects and organizations that
can contribute towards these five pillars, managing to pool efforts between
projects and resources. The Guagua Solidaria is our vehicle to give
support around the islands of Puerto Rico through brigades, which are free
and open to all types of agro-ecological planting; farms, community gardens,
school gardens, home plantings. The bus comes with seeds for each planting
that is visited, tools and equipment for construction and agriculture,
camping equipment, a mobile kitchen, and a group of volunteers. La Guagua
allows us to provide efficient support to each place visited, being a useful
tool to raise our food system and our agroecological community.
