Rosemary Morrow

Rosemary Morrow trained in agricultural science and rural sociology and after spending time in Africa, she realized there needed to be a better alternative to conventional agricultural practices. She found this in the ethics and integrated applied science of permaculture, and has been teaching permaculture ever since. 

For almost 40 years Rosemary has worked extensively with farmers and villagers in Africa, Central and South East Asia and Eastern Europe. Rosemary has especially dedicated much of her efforts to refugees the people of war-torn nations such as Vietnam, Cambodia, Uganda, Ethiopia, Afghanistan, Kurdistan and East Timor, and to communities experiencing the serious effects of climate change like the Solomon Islands, and the effects of the GFC, like Spain, Greece and Portugal.

Morrow considers permaculture to be ‘sacred knowledge’ to be carried and shared with others. Rowe’s present concern is to make teaching sustainable and encourage others to succeed her as teachers.

“When we can sustain the land, it can sustain us.”
