I will be doing a second Permaculture Design Course (PDC) which is designed for people who work with non-government organizations (NGOs) or government agencies, community organizers working in international development and/or social entrepreneurship, as well as volunteers and students with dedicated interest in the subject matter.
This will be my second of three training sessions this year, the third hopefully will be Integrated Water Resources Management in relation to Climate Change
Permaculture, for those who are not familiar with the term is an integrated design system that provides a framework for consciously designed landscapes that provide diversity, stability, and resilience for individuals and communities. Permaculture is in 160 countries with many thousands of grassroots projects on-the-ground.
This course will assist me and my organizations' with integrating the following into our projects:
