In 2017 the International Permaculture Convergence (IPC) took place in Telangana, India. The event was hosted by Aranya Agriculture Alternatives and took place at established forest garden ‘Arayna’ and new permaculture farm ‘Polam’.
Over the course of the year hundreds of permaculture volunteers and students came together to contribute toward existing systems, create new systems, and create an event space that welcomed nearly 1000 attendee from all over our planet.
Russ Spollin will share his experience of IPC 2017, the history of the IPC, Aranya Agriculture Alternatives pioneering work, and showcase some of the wonderful people who were involved.
