Local Harvest

by jwmcgregor on January 31, 2012

“Local Harvest will be a user-friendly, online directory that helps Australians everywhere to increase their consumption of fresh, local and sustainably grown food.

I encourage people to convert streets and parks to permaculture, and to develop intensive organic food production at home.

Since the passing of Peak Oil, strategies like these support Australian food sovereignty – and climate repair – in a Warming World.” Jerry Coleby-Williams.

Jerry Coleby-Williams, Organic Gardener
