Can permaculture offer robust solutions to slow down the climate crisis? What projects are best practice, scientifically tested, replicable and scalable? Maddy Harland takes us on a journey from a forest garden in Hampshire to a small farm in France and then across the Atlantic to visit a multi-strata food forest in Belize. She reports on Common Earth, a project working with the Commonwealth Secretariat to seed regenerative approaches to cooling the planet in its 53 nations, and finishes with Brian von Herzen’s work in marine permaculture, farming kelp for food, fibre, carbon sequestration and regeneration of marine ecosystems.
