Topic: How to Set up a Resilient Permaculture Farm

In a world where extreme weather events, looming financial crises and stupid politicians are the norm rather than the exception it’s a smart move to join the thousands of others who are working their way into a more self-sufficient and resilient position.

In this presentation, William will talk about what you should do in the face of these challenges if you already have some land to start your homestead or a farm.

William and his wife live in Croatia, a country that has been through a five-year war in the early 90-ties and recently an eight years long recession and slow economic decline – the past and a present that may become a future for many countries of the world.

Drawing on the experience of this most likely real life ‘collapse’ scenario, we’ll explore steps you should take in setting up a resilient permaculture farm and different ways to start building resilience into your life today. We’ll also touch on real life design examples of resilient permaculture farms and deconstruct their successful strategies in achieving self-sufficiency and self-reliance.
