Speaker: Kelda Lorax Webinar – Sunday, March 17, 5pm ET ZOOM Online Ministry Permaculture is the development of agricultural ecosystems intended to be sustainable and self-sufficient. How is that different from organic gardening? Organic gardening focuses on soil health and chemical-free gardening practices. Permaculture includes those goals, but also designs each site to imitate natural systems, using nature’s adaptations to keep it sustainable. Permaculture agriculture or gardening may resemble a food forest of herbs, vegetables, and flowers. It maximizes the natural energy sources around the plants, just like forest plants do. It goes beyond agriculture to the way we design each site and the associated buildings. Kelda Lorax began studying permaculture as a teenager in the 90's. She has co-taught several Permaculture Design Courses, served on the board of the Northwest Permaculture Convergence, and has Diploma's in Permaculture Site Design and Permaculture Education through the Permaculture Institute of North America(PINA). She currently teaches with Permaculture Women's Guild, Oregon State University's Online PDC, is a Field Advisor for “Regenerative Land Management” (RLM) of the Earth Activist Training Program, and is a Field Advisor for PINA diplomats. Kelda's passion is for learning about and creating models of healthy human-ecosystem relations, while acknowledging and working to end the many injustices that have disrupted our collective relationship with the land. On the ground, Kelda currently runs Stardust Market Garden in Fairland, OK and serves on the board for L.E.A.D. Agency, a nearby indigenous-led environmental justice non-profit.
