Grove School of Engineering at City College, Steinman Lecture Hall 160 Covent Avenue, New York, NY, United States

Permaculture has the potential to transform the future, but first we have to bring it mainstream. How do we scale permaculture to redesign the massive agricultural, food, and consumer culture systems for long-term health and sustainability?

Our experts will be discussing these questions and more at our permaculture forum on April 3rd, 2017.
