Conversation with Andy Goldring, CEO of the Permaculture Association: how can Permaculture contribute to building a new economy?

We’re interviewing people who are trying to move society in a different direction – i.e. to build a new economy, that’s both sustainable and democratic. We’re looking to find common ground between people doing interesting things in the low-impact, small-scale, independent, non-corporate, co-operative world, to try to co-ordinate our efforts to bring about large-scale, lasting change.
