About David Braden
I have been involved in self sufficiency, organic gardening, bioregionalism and other efforts to change the way humans interact with the rest of nature for more than 30 years. I made my living as a lawyer and have been able to devote full time to my real passion since 2004.
That is both my background and how I became interested/involved in permaculture.
We are currently building community gardens using sheet mulching techniques, teaching through the Living Systems Institute, and working at developing Community Sufficiency Technologies . . . the know how to organize ourselves to provide for ourselves.
