Our housing system is broken, but where do we look for different ways forward and a theory of change?

Come and join me with economist Karl Fitzgerald from Grounded the new Community Land Trust Advocacy (and formerly of Prosper Australia ). 

Karl advocates that a saner future awaits when we focus on a community land housing solution that moves us away from the speculative drive and sprawl. He is dedicated to creating and sharing new models and developing housing futures that are intertwined with the permaculture movement. 

Listen throughout for how Karl cleverly describes this model of community land trusts through the language of permaculture principles, and describes a community-led `affordable housing option. 

So many possibilities presented. Grounded is researching ways forward - to come together. Grow together!

This podcast is an initiative of the Permaculture Education Institute.

Our way of sharing our love for this planet and for life, is by teaching permaculture teachers who are locally adapting this around the world - finding ways to apply the planet care ethics of earth care, people care and fair share. We host global conversations and learning communities on 6 continents.

We teach permaculture teachers, host permaculture courses, host Our Permaculture Life YouTube, and offer free monthly film club and masterclass.

We broadcast from a solar powered studio in the midst of a permaculture ecovillage food forest on beautiful Gubbi Gubbi country. I acknowledge this is and always will be Aboriginal land, pay my respects to elders past and present, and extend my respect to indigenous cultures and knowledge systems across the planet.
