The Tompkins Weekly, a newspaper distributed in Ithaca and the surrounding county published a thoughtful piece by Eric Banford that explores the social, methodological, and ongoing connections between Ronaldo Lec Ajcot’s work in Central America and the Finger Lakes Permaculture Institute. Eric interviewed Michael Burns and Karry Olson Ramanujan in advance of “Rony” Lec’s visit to the region.

His trip is sponsored by Cornell University’s Latin American Studies Program, the Committee on U.S. Latin American Relations (CUSLAR,) the Ithaca College Latin American Studies and Environmental Studies Departments and the Finger Lakes Permaculture Institute.
