Resource Page

 Find below handouts, links and other resources related to the Remakery Permaculture Design Course. Additional resources will follow after each weekend of the course.

Weekend 2 - Ecology and the Land

To do: The prerecorded presentations

The 3 recordings are to watch after weekend 2 and ideally before our online meeting.

To do: ‘Kiss the Ground’

I recommend you watch the documentary ‘Kiss the Ground’ on the subject of soil. You can watch it on Netflix or rent it on Vimeo: https://kisstheground.com/support-the-film/

“Released in September of 2020 on Netflix, Kiss the Ground the movie narrated by Woody Harrelson is a full-length documentary shedding light on a “new, old approach” to farming called regenerative agriculture, a practice with the extraordinary ability to balance our climate and feed the world.”

Hope in a Changing Climate is a short film on the restoration of landscapes and livelihoods.
