This will be followed by a ‘convergence’ in some farms in Sangareddy district from November 27 to December 2. “IPCs have been serving as platforms for practitioners to discuss strategies, education standards and research about permaculture on a regional and global level,” Padma Koppula, Co-Founder of Aranya Agricultural Alternatives, said in a statement on Wednesday.

The topics for discussion at the conference include permaculture as a social responsibility; grassroots permaculture in action; women as agents of change; and permaculture and climate change adaptation.
