Mapping Permaculture Convergences – Andy Goldring
Andy is Chief Executive of the Permaculture Association, the UK charity that helps more people do more permaculture. He was once a fine art student studying sculpture at Leeds Polytechnic, but soon after came across permaculture and fell madly in love with its blend of ethical purpose, design principles and practical action. You can generally find Andy behind a computer screen, behind the handlebars of his bike or picking fruit on his allotment in Leeds. He is an active teacher and Chair of Leeds Permaculture Network and part of the Imagine Leeds team, developing a city scale initiative that is inventing new ways to get people inventing and co-creating a zero carbon, nature friendly, socially just future.
