Not sure if this holds true here in BC, my last permaculture experience was gender co-shared and I
tend to see more women posting to this list, but perhaps that just reflects my limited exposure.
Certainly I know from the past 25 years working within the conservation movement the bulk of the
volunteer force has been women.
"Ford and other permaculturists claim women's contributions to the permaculture and local food
system movements are immense, yet they are under-represented in forms of dissemination and
recognition, including at conferences and in courses, textbooks, and online."
"The higher superstar permaculture teachers are almost always men," agrees Berezan, who casts a look
back at the original founders of the permaculture movement who, he says, could be described as the
"permaculture patriarchs."
