In this episode I give some background about the global refugee crisis and provide the framework with which I believe permaculture people should view this crisis. I then interview the amazing permaculture teacher and writer Rosemary Morrow about her work with refugees.
Resources for episode 4:
- Check out Rosemary’s website Permaculture for Refugees
- In the U.S.? Support this activism in solidarity with the Migrant Caravan.

- That very annoying article about Hillary Clinton and Tony Blair
- This is a great article that gives you background on U.S. imperialism in Central America

- I wrote a blog post Permies of the World Unite! in response to the abuse of refugee and migrant children by the U.S. Government that you might find relevant.
