A YouTube video (posted January 5, 2018) of a talk given by David Shaw, Santa Cruz Permaculture’s Director and Lead Designer, at a workshop hosted by Sustainable Solano in Fairfield, CA in August 2017. Shaw introduces the ethics and principles of permaculture and illustrates them with examples drawn from the permaculture flower framework — covering whole-systems design, land stewardship, community resilience, and the connection between humans, ecosystems, and food systems.
