permaculture community

Suomen Permakulttuuri Yhdistys, short SPY, the Finnish Permaculture Association - an association I co-founded in 2016. I served as president from 2020 to 2022 and resigned in 2022 due to a coup d'état. 

When Accountability Is Framed as Aggression: A Case Study from the Finnish Permaculture Association

This is not about attacking individuals. It’s about showing patterns that hinder progress and erode trust.
