ORFC 2026 8 – 9 Jan
Have you heard of permaculture but are not sure what it is? Are you looking to transition towards more agroecological methods, increase biodiversity and get more connected to local markets and communities? Permaculture can help! With 40 years of innovation and practice under its belt, permaculture ideas and methods are spreading fast, and being adopted by farmers across the UK. The methods can help you to plan out a manageable process of change, and design new approaches to the layout and use of your land. During this session we will hear from three leading edge practitioners who will share exciting developments in how they are using permaculture and helping other farmers, estates and land-managers to use it too. Short presentations will be followed by a workshop where we will explore some key permaculture tools and discuss opportunities for making the toolkit more widely accessible.
