  IPC10 - Jordan 2011 International Permaculture Conference
Sept3-Sept 23 2011

Website www.ipcon.org

The 10th International Permaculture Conference and Convergence (IPC 
10) will be held in Jordan across September of 2011. Traditionally 
IPCs are held every two years and switch between continents. Past 
host sites have been Australia, USA, New Zealand, Nepal, Scandinavia, 
Croatia and Brazil. The last IPC, IPC9, was held in Malawi, Africa, 
in 2009.

Jordan is one of the most water-stressed nations on the planet - with 
low precipitation, ultra-high levels of evaporation, and little 
vegetation cover - and the people of Jordan are depleting aquifer 
water faster than it can be replenished. In short, Jordan, and other 
countries like it, is facing a very challenging future.

The IPC10 in Jordan will bring together some of the world's most 
capable permaculture practitioners, teachers, visionaries and 
activists, enabling them to share their combined wealth of knowledge, 
experience and inspiration with the people of Jordan, each other, and 
the world at large. The result is expected to be increased efficiency 
at bringing permaculture's strong tendency to get to the heart of 
water, soil, energy and other global problems - by dealing with their 
root causes in holistic ways - to the people who need it most.

Permaculture is spreading like wildfire across the globe, proving 
itself as one of the only complete, solutions-based approaches to the 
growing challenges in availability of water, food, energy and 
resources. The solutions offered also address poverty, human induced 
climate change, peak oil, species extinction and pollution.
