Graham Brookman
Graham Brookman has experienced land use all over the world and his search for ecologically sustainable farming systems led to the Permaculture model devised by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren. Graham has put the model to the test and teaches his findings in an energetic, interactive and practical style.
Having designed a state-of-the-art composting toilet and reedbed system, his next project was a straw-bale cold room, big enough for the Food Forest's little tractor to drive into with bulk bins of fruit and nuts. The success of the cold room and subsequent structures has convinced Graham that strawbale construction is an ideal building medium for Southern Australia.
He is a qualified horticulturalist, teacher and permaculture designer, was the inaugural chairman of the Adelaide Showground Farmers Market and has strong interest in regional planning.
