[Ccpg] This Week on Sustainable World

[Wesley Roe and Marjorie Lakin Erickson]

Food and Trees for Africa!

On Friday, March 16th, Sustainable World is broadcasting an interview 
with Jeunesse Park, CEO of the non-profit Food & Trees For Africa. 
Since the early 1990s Jeunesse has played a significant role in 
changing consciousness and regenerating the landscape in South Africa.

FTFA is a non-profit organization that has assisted tens of thousands 
of people by greening unhealthy, denuded and degraded landscapes 
through diverse programs; including national school garden 
competitions, community gardens, and urban forestry projects. FTFA 
extended its operations to assist organizations working in the field 
of HIV/AIDS, helping to reduce the potentially devastating effects of 
the disease by establishing permaculture food growing projects at 
clinics, schools, and in public open spaces.

Jeunesse introduced Permaculture to South Africa when she brought 
Bill Mollison there in 1991. Since then she has organized annual 
Permaculture Design courses in South Africa, training hundreds of 
people and facilitators.

Wesley Rowe and Margie Bushman of the Santa Barbara Permaculture 
Network will be in studio to talk with Jeunesse about the upcoming 
fundraiser "Africa to Brazil". Wes and Margie are raising funds to 
bring four members of FTFA from South Africa to Brazil for the 8th 
International Permaculture Conference. (IPC8)
