digital permaculture

When digital knowledge disappears

In October I gave a Campfire presentation about Digital Permaculture for the Permaculture Association in the UK. The Campfire series is a space where practitioners share ideas, projects, and experiments with the wider permaculture community.

As part of the event, the talk was recorded. I expected that the recording would eventually appear online, so that others could access the content afterwards.

Observe and interact – website traffic at the EuPN in 2025

Permaculture Network visitor world map

While the new year is still fresh, I took some time to look back. At the European Permaculture Network (EuPN), we track site visits via Matomo. Matomo is a privacy-focuse open-source alternative to Google Analytics. Since we also host the EuPN on our own server, we have access to the raw server log files as well.

The EuPN joins the Digital Independence Day

The EuPN joins the Digital Independence Day

Our digital lives depend heavily on a few proprietary platforms. This centralisation limits user autonomy, locks communities into closed ecosystems, and places crucial infrastructure in the hands of commercial actors whose interests do not always align with the common good. Open-source tools and federated networks offer a different path: transparent, democratic, community-owned and built for long-term resilience. I wrote about it extensively in my book “Digital Permaculture”.

Digital Independence Day (Di-Day) invites us to take one small step each month towards such alternatives.
