Permaculturist, homesteader and educator who teaches communities to build food security and resilient living — starting with what they already have.
Susanne Peet is a permaculturist, homesteader and educator whose work centres on one deceptively simple idea: that most people already have what they need to start building a more resilient life. She works with individuals and communities to develop practical skills in food forestry, sustainable living and community engagement, and has built her approach around the principle that waiting for perfect conditions is the primary obstacle between good intentions and meaningful change.
What distinguishes Susanne’s contribution to the sustainability conversation is its groundedness. She does not speak in abstractions about what is possible — she demonstrates it through the practical frameworks she has developed, including a debt-free homestead model, a 90-day food security blueprint, and a community co-op model that enables collective action without requiring prior infrastructure.
For sustainability, community development, food security, environmental education and regional resilience conferences, Susanne Peet speaks to audiences that want to move from awareness to action. Her sessions are practical, empowering, and rooted in a deep connection to place and land. She is particularly effective with audiences who are sceptical that large-scale change is possible — and who discover, through her work, that it can begin much closer to home than they expected.
