Re-localising our communities and food systems

Northcote Town Hall, 189 High Street Northcote
While the historic peaking and decline in world oil supply is becoming more widely discussed in the media, it is a bad news story to rival climate change. Richard Heinberg and David Holmgren engender an understanding of Peak Oil as the upheaval which allows us to take the steps forward to healthy, sustainable and equitable eating for all.

If I were to pick two people in the world to talking together on Peak Oil, this would be them!
Richard Heinberg, author of two best selling books on Peak Oil: The Party's Over and Powerdown, grapples with the geological, ecological, economic political and psycho-social implications of Peak Oil which is holistic and down to earth.
David Holmgren, co-originator of the Permaculture concept in the 1970's and author of Permaculture:Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability, shows how permaculture is much more than a form of organic gardening; in fact an empowering design system for the energy descent future.
