    What a great oppertunity. Is there any likelyhood of similar courses in Australia? It would be great to see Paul Stamets in Queensland.

    Re: Carbon Economy & Farming Courses USA 2009

    G'day,

    Thanks for the positive replies...We would love to have the CFC & CEC concept come to Australia and elsewhere...the pedagogy is of course mimicking Permaculture Design where we are hoping that attendees of these courses will take this stuff with them to other countries and adapt it accordingly.

    We have a couple of interested parties here in Australia who want to run a CFC/CEC or two in the eastern states in 2010 but we are a long way off that being confirmed....

    All the best,

    Darren Doherty
