Thank you for your feedback on this talk. The talk was designed to give an over of what permaculture is and is not to with the aim to give those a better introduction to the principle so they can decide whether its something they want to go further. We receive reviews and comments all the time how you our cusomers want presenters to talk from practical experience.
