2011 London Permaculture Festival

We had a great time in the end, despite it raining nearly all day- which we thought would discourage everyone. Our figures were down on last year but nearly all the workshops were full to capacity and the main hall was bursting with people- weather hardy permaculturalists and dedicated intriguers, as well as a few virgin greens. The final count was 700 people – 550 paying punters and over 150 volunteer staff (including those working on stalls, and stewards etc)- lots of happy participants and new friends and connections made.

I will be demonstrating cider making at your show using my hydraulic fruit press and an electric 1930′s apple mill.

All my apples come from various locations in woodland and on the side of the road, for the best results I mix as many varieties including crab apples together before milling. Allan Ford

2.30pm- Ecocide- Polly Higgins

Polly Higgins, author of Eradicating Ecocide, barrister and international environmental lawyer proposed to the United Nations a law of Ecocide to be classed as an international law alongside Genocide as a Crime Against Peace. Ecocide is defined as the mass “damage, destruction to or loss of ecosystems of a given territory, whether by human agency or by other causes, to such an extent that peaceful enjoyment by the inhabitants of that territory has been severely diminished.” In 2008 3,000 corporations caused $2.2 trillion dollars of biodiversity ecocide; Last year the destruction of our ecosystems reached an all time high. It is a crime to destroy large tracts of our land during war, but in peace-time there is no law against it. We can halt the destruction of our lands and seas, and Polly will be talking about how this can be done both at a local level and an international level. www.pollyhiggins.com www.thisisecocide.com

We are all fundamentally interconnected with the natural world around us – most clearly through our food and the air we breathe.
