Designing for Life with Graham Bell (Replay from Soil Regen Summit)
In Loving Memory of Graham Bell, we are replaying his older presentation from the Soil Regen Summit.
We are able as human beings to actually do a little less, be a bit more, and stop wasting stuff. In the process, we can care for ourselves, our families, our friends and neighbors, and people we don’t know in concentric circles (like the layers of an onion) moving out from our core being… whilst also caring for the Earth (and especially its wildlife), and in reducing our need to consume, create better social justice sharing the Earth’s resources for the benefit of all. A conscious design process called Permaculture.

Graham BellAuthor, Permaculture ExpertSadly, Graham Bell passed away unexpectedly on March 1st, 2023. He will be greatly missed and this Summit is dedicated to his loving memory.
Graham Bell was an internationally respected teacher, author and lecturer in Permaculture and other allied disciplines over the last thirty years. He was the first person in Britain to be awarded the Diploma in Permaculture by Bill Mollison personally in 1990. The lead instructor on the Countryside Premium Scheme (for farmers) for Scotland in the nineties, he taught on six continents. He was a trainer of trainers (originally with the Agricultural Training Board now called Lantra) for twenty five years. His home in the Scottish Borders with his wife Nancy boasts the longest-standing intentional food forest garden in Britain. His main career he shared “is as a storyteller. We learn and teach understanding for all the creatures in the living environment, how they interact and how we can make them available sustainable for all with the least amount of work. We never cease believing a better future is possible and we keep sharing the skills to make it happen. This is only possible because we respect the prior knowledge of everyone who joins us in this progression.” A qualified electrician in a past life, his knowledge of people and plants was legendary. He said: “I cannot empower anyone but I have shown thousands that if you create the right habitat, people can be allowed to empower themselves.”

Wonderful message. Thank you for including. RIP Graham
Inspiring.
What a wonderful person he was.
i am looking forward to doing Grahams permiculture course (via SFWS).
..an incredible achievement to produce 1.25 tonnes of food per year on such a small suburban block.
The most facinating aspect (for me) was the whole new perspective it gives on what ‘true diversity’ looks like in small scale food production – literally hundreds of species co-existing to increase yeild. I had only seriously been concieving of 30-50 until now ..not hundreds!
What is clearly apparent is the desparate need for smart networking of seed producers within our movement. What if there became an ethical code within the graduate SFWS cohort to ensure you propergated and distributed something of your own unique seeds to at least one other SFWS member each year as a quantity for quantity swap (profile asigned web tick box for example). Would surely result in an exponential growth and availability of diverse food species..
It is legal to send seeds via post here in Australia, but not into or outside of the country. So keep it local, which aligns with the ethos anyway 😉
Food for thought. Great talk.
Thank you so much for this presentation, it was really inspiring
