Permaculture is an ecological design system that uses local resources like plants and animals to assemble productive cultivated ecosystems that meet human needs, with a focus on food and nutrition. It addresses global food insecurity challenges through locally-based solutions like community gardens, farms, and reclaiming neglected lands. The document outlines nutritional needs that can be met through a permaculture approach of growing one's own food and cultivating local food systems, with strategies like soil building, companion planting, vertical growing, and encouraging local economic support of small farms.

Smart Food is food that fulfills all the criteria of being-GOOD FOR YOU, GOOD...ICRISAT
Smart Food crops are highly nutritious and targeting some of the largest micro nutrient deficiencies and needs, especially of women and children. Pearl millet has very high levels and bioavailability studies have shown that they will provide the average person’s daily requirement of iron and zinc. Smart Food allows us to have Sustainable Diets ie diets with low environmental impacts which contribute to food and nutrition security.

In this presentation, I will try to achieve 4 objectives.
I will discuss that there seems to be some emerging consensus on the scope of “Human Security.”
I will show the complementarity between the “State Security” and “Human Security.”
I will explain that a “Human Security Approach” offers us a useful framework to assess & analyze the multiple threats that vulnerable people face.
I will discuss that this multidisciplinary “Human Security Approach,” overcoming academic compartmentalization in “delivering as one,” is effective in narrowing the gap through the dual strategies of empowerment and protection.

20161202 Permaculture for Science, Energy, and the Environment presentationRob Kaiser
Join us as we discuss Permaculture for Science, Energy, and the Environment. We will be covering topics such as Sustainable Agriculture, Regenerative Agriculture, and Permaculture.
http://agriculturalinsights.com/tgb2/ In this presentation I make learning how to improve your grazing management easy. We cover how plants grow and why you need to know that to harvest the maximum amount of solar energy falling on your land. I talk about 3 easy to use (and free) animal performance monitoring techniques. We then move on to physically managing livestock with portable electric fencing and then the differences mob grazing can make on your land. High density grazing is also defined. We conclude the presentation with some advanced techniques for more experienced ranchers and graziers. http://agriculturalinsights.com/tgb2/

Nawet w dobie „dobrej zmiany”, gdy media narodowe nie stronią od manipulacji, zachowała swoją aktualność. Dotyczy problemów na styku mediów, marketingu i mediów społecznościowych, a nie sytuacji, w których manipulacje związane są z relacjami władzy.

This is part 2 of a slideshow i delivered at the mountain homesteading festival concerning the zones closest to the house. It goes over information about landscaping itself and the integration of food plants and the support species to make it a holistic permaculture design. It also addresses soil and water issues. Part 2 focuses much more on plant selection and their arrangement for a good design. It also addresses soil fertility and use of microclimate.

Nutrition and Aging (Presented by Carmen Blanco, Greenville SC)Carmen Blanco
As we age, so do our dietary needs both in terms of macronutrients (proteins/carbs/fats) and micronutrients (vitamins/minerals). The following is a presentation on common nutrient deficiencies in older adults.
Origin and Organic-A shop for Organic,
Natural and Traditional Foods.
We collect traditional rices,millets and pulses directly from local natural farmers and we clean if needed ,pack and sell it to the customers.
In order to promote the use of traditional rices in our day to day life easily we also make value added products like
Millet Dosa flour
Puttu and idiyappam flour
Black ulundhu Kali for all women,especially during puberty time.
Millet chapati flour
Sprouted ragi malt
Traditional rice kanji mixes
Black kavuni kanji mixes
Millet pongal mixes
Millet rava
Millet and traditional rice flakes
2. What is Permaculture?
• An ecological design system for the creation of
regenerative human habitats.
• Biologically based, whole systems approaches to meet
human needs from the landscapes in our care
• Using local resources, plants, and animals
• To assemble productive cultivated ecosystems.
• Food and nutrition is at the core of Permaculture-
designed systems.
3.

5. Food Insecurity
• Global Food Security Challenges:
– Global competition for a seemingly limited
resource
– Declining soil quality and productivity
– Increasing food and transportation costs
– Corporate control of the food supply
– Reduced food diversity = vulnerability
– Climate instability
– Declining nutrition content of available foods
6. Local Food Insecurity
• Results of a 2011 Gallup survey on Food
Insecurity in 100 US metropolitan areas:
– 2010 Survey: Asheville metropolitan
area(Buncombe, Haywood, Henderson, Madison
Counties) - 7th worst in the nation!
– 2011 survey - 3rd worst !!
– One in 5 people (approx 106,000 People) in WNC
is food insecure!!!!
– NC 1st in local food insecurity in USA
– 1 in 4 kids hungry in NC, 1 in 3 obese!
– We source less than 5% of our food locally!
7. The Good News!
• We can reclaim control over our local food
supply. Local self reliance is achievable.
• Liberation through Abundance. Nature is fecund.
• We can grow what we need.
• We have access to the information, plants, and
materials we need.
• Gardens and small farms are more efficient and
grow healthier food than large scale agriculture.
• Thriving vs. Surviving: a community endeavor
10. What do we eat?
• Vegetables
• Herbs and spices
• Root Crops
• Grains
• Animals and animal products
• Oils
• Nuts
• Fruits and berries
• Mushrooms
• Products of the above: ferments, sauces, canned and
dried goods

15. Plugging the local nutritional food gaps
• Oils: Nuts, Seeds, Animal Fats
• Minerals: soil remineralization
• Grains
• Staples
• Cultivate more specialized farm/orchard
enterprises to close the loop/ fill the niches.
16. Strategies for meeting our
Nutritional needs
Grow what you need: Begin in the Garden
Cultivate the local community food shed.
Neighborhood
Town
Local area
Bioregion
Region
17. In the Permaculture Garden
• Build soil, plant plants, tend animals
• Begin at the kitchen door and work outward on a controlled
front.
• Overcoming limiting factors.
• Optimize use of space, fill the niches, stacking and packing.
• Select for optimum nutrition: varietal selection
• The art of placement: right plant, right place
• Mixed perennial, annual, and animal production systems for
creating food poly-cultures.
• Diverse yields over time. Year round production.
• A place for animals and fish.
18. Permaculture Garden Strategies
• Vegetables to the center;
nuts, fruits, and berries
on the edges
• For limited spaces,
grow trees as shrubs
• Speed succession.
• Increase the productive
edges.
• Alley cropping
• Use vertical space –
Grow up, not out!
• Use shady spaces
• Use slopes to advantage
19.
20. Cultivate the local community food
shed.
• Food Activism. The time is now!
• Re-skilling: Learning the art of growing food
• Cultivating interdependence: cooperation, a survival value
• Neighborhood/Community gardens
• Neighborhood/Community orchards, vineyards, berry
patches, and medicine gardens
• Wild Foods
• Food and Medicine Forests.
• Restore the commons – abandoned, abused, and neglected
lands.
• Support more local small and organic Farms.
• Regionally source our needs.
21. Nutrition and Local Economics
• Putting our money where our values lie; the myth
of cheaper foods
• Fresh food is nutritious food
• Food miles vs. food feet
• Vote with your dollars: Investing in local farms
and allied businesses
• Encourage farmers to grow what we need, then
buy it.
• Incredible Edible Todmorden
22. Have fun. Savor the journey
toward an abundant future.
