Thank you very much for inviting Sarah Queblatin. This was such an interesting and important conversation, and I hope there will be many more videos on this topic

I'm glad Permaculture Magazine is addressing this issue. I'd like to see the exploration of this subject expanded. The permaculture movement in the UK is too often the domain of the white middle class. Have you considered a feature on the Dig It Out campaign?

Blind spots are such a major problem with all agriculture, we all have so much to learn, thank you for talking about this.

Beautiful! Thank you both for sharing this wisdom.

Care for the Earth, care for people. Keep it simple. Plant, nurture, love, harvest, share, repeat.

It is very difficult to consider the history and background of a place. History is long, goes back many centuries. During that long time many different people(s) with different religious backgrounds and beliefs lived there. How can you take all that in consideration? Including the current generations who live there (in that region)

This is not an issue of indigenous people and decolonisation… this is an issue of rediscovering traditional methods of living, pre industrial revolution. Please stop acting like this is an issue of race.. There is no need to segregate people and their ideas. If we treat permaculture as a science of sustainable and productive living, where we are free to be inspired regardless of our origins, we will learn much faster.. This racialisation of a science is just going to get in the way of productivity. who cares if somebody acknowledges or respects you? What do you actually gain from it? It won’t give you good soil, or make up your fruit trees more productive. Victimising yourself isn’t going to achieve anything but feed your own ego.. You could invest your time into teaching the world practical knowledge you have acquired from your culture rather than complaining about your perceived lack of acknowledgement… I’m sorry if this comes across as harsh or rude, that is not my intention. I just don’t believe that what you are doing benefits society. If anything, categorising people like this actually does the opposite..it breeds division. Focus on the science. Knowledge should have no boundaries.

Permaculture the knowledge of came from indigenous cultures from all over the world. Bill just left out the spiritual aspect of what he learned. I am a pagan it is easy to put the spiritual back into permaculture it is what I do.
