S4:E126 – Local Food: Getting It Together -Angus Soutar (The People's Reset: UK)

The People's Reset Activation

On September 27, 2024, Angus Soutar spoke at The People's Reset: UK on the theme Permaculture & Food Independence.

Permaculture has a philosophy of trusting in the natural world and in the innate creativity of human beings to care for it. The idea behind permaculture is the harmonious integration of landscape and people providing their food, energy, shelter and other material and non-material needs in a sustainable way. In practice this often means creating systems that ensure a sufficient supply of healthy food to local communities, with minimum external inputs. Angus will share some of his experiences "from the field" and will issue a rallying cry for the task of building local food systems that will not only assure food security but could also help jump-start new local economies.

Angus Soutar is the Principal and founder of the Northern School of Permaculture. He is a qualified permaculture designer with 35 years of permaculture experience, often in community settings. Prior to that he had a career in the energy industry.

Angus has studied with some of the most senior permaculture teachers, including Bill Mollison and he now has over 30 years experience in teaching the international permaculture design certificate course. He was awarded the Diploma in Applied Permaculture Design by the Permaculture Academy (Britain) in 1997 and is accredited by the Permaculture Research Institute to teach the PDC, worldwide.

He is currently developing permaculture education systems in the UK, working with the Permaculture Instutute of North Britain.
