Description: The awareness of the structural weaknesses of our society (depletion of resources and biodiversity, climate change, etc.) raises more and more the question of a potential collapse. Simultaneously, permaculture appears as a way to rethink our way of life and rebuild society in a resilient and sustainable way.
But how can we reconcile reconcile these two concepts? The organizations Permaculture 44 and Adrastia are hosting a conference led by Vincent Mignerot and Arthur Keller to clarify this vast subject of the collapse and discuss it with you.
