Jill Cloutier interviews Kudzanai "Lewis" Mashingaidze, Director of the Fambidzanai Permaculture Centre in Zimbabwe, established in 1988, one of the oldest permaculture centers in Africa.  Located outside of the city of Harare, Fambidzanai Permaculture is a training center involved in garden programs, food security, and sustainable land use parctices.  Lewis was one of the Africans attending the recent International Permaculture Convergence in Brazil (www.ipc8.org), and along with the other African delegates attending, made the successful bid to bring the next international convergence to Africa in 2009.

Lewis and others hope to make this convergence encompass the whole continent, by training participants from across Africa and increasing the number of African countries who are practicing Permaculture, and improve Africa’s involvement in the forthcoming International Permaculture Convergence (IPC9).
