Sustain Dane presents the Badger Bioneer Conference, which highlights the work of Madisonians who are busy creating a sustainable future, whether by greening their businesses, imparting Earth knowledge in the classroom, or nurturing the people and places of their communities. This Plenary session features Greg David, a farmer; a founding member of Sustain Jefferson; and a Jefferson County Supervisor, who has adopted the guiding principles of permaculture, an ethic for approaching the nature as a set of large, interlocking systems, each part of which has intrinsic value beyond mere human utility.
