Check Out this New Interview with Iba' and Murad Al-Khufash on KKFM with Richard Mabion at this link: http://www.kkfi.org/program-episodes/self-empowerment-permaculture-palestines-west-bank/

Join us in this extraordinary event where Palestinian Permaculturist Iba'  shares her stories from the front lines of the occupied territories in the Palestinian West Bank where she and Murad Al-Khufash, founder of the Marda Permaculture Farm are sowing seeds of resistance, change, and self-empowerment through this small yet deeply impactful permaculture teaching center.

In her presentation Iba' will share the history of the Marda Permaculture Farm, its inspiring accomplishments achieved despite immense barriers, and the larger context of occupation within which Marda Farm operates. 

She will share the larger vision of the farm, the supportive global network to which it belongs, its mission, and dreams for the future--for Palestine and for the farm itself.  This is the first time Iba has visited the U.S. since the farm was initiated in 2006, so it is a very special event.

The presentation will follow with a Q and A session and an opportunity to visit with Iba' after the talk.

This event is sponsored by the Sustainability Action Network, the Kansas Permaculture Institute, KKFI 90.1 FM, and Aladdin Cafe in Lawrence, Kansas.
