Topic: The Earthship Concept and the production of food in these sustainable homes.

Presenter: Michelle Locher is an expert in the production of food in Earthships, and will discuss the ways in which these homes can serve as a model of sustainable living and eating. Earthships are closely tied to the principle of permaculture.

Michelle grew up on a farm in South Africa and came to the United States twenty years ago. Today she lives at Taos Pueblo with her husband and son. She has become an avid gardener, both at home and in her role as the primary plant expert at Earthship Biotecture. Michelle illustrates the importance of food production in Earthships in their Visitors Center. Her work also includes plant propagation for all of the Taos Earthship buildings. She currently focuses on landscaping and practicing permaculture.
