Acknowledgement- We live, work, and dream on Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander lands. We acknowledge them as holding deep ecological knowledge and their ability to live sustainably in harmony with the land. They and other ancient cultures are roots of permaculture—working with nature, fostering resilience, and ensuring balance for future generations.
Grab a cuppa and settle in — we’re diving into the roots of one of permaculture’s most beloved publications. 🌱📖 In this episode of The Practical Permaculture Podcast, Alysse sits down with Robyn Rosenfeldt, founder and editor of Pip Magazine.
