PUTTING OUT THE WORD – Hey folks, please join with me in putting permaculture on stumble-upon. I see that this article had loads of facebook shares, but none in the stumble-upon category. Whilst we may all have a lot of f/b friends, my experience is that we are preaching to the choir.. and that very few of our many friends [I have nearly 2k] actually get the info.

We must make sure to post these articles on all of the article sites including stumble-upon and digg and reddit.

I’ve spent most of the morning doing just that.. so if you’re living on the edge, like me, and can’t donate dollars, please donate an hour of your time each week to PUTTING PERMACULTURE EVERYWHERE. I’ve written to stumbleupon and asked them to have a category for it. I’ve also changed my name in facebook to include permaculture ‘SunnyEmbracePermacultureSoleil’. If you truly believe, you have to do everything in your power to EVANGELIZE PERMACULTURE!!!!!!

Hi everyone

I am a Papua New Guinean who is interested in Permaculture to be introduce and establish by my people. All our forest, land, gardens, fish and everything that the mother nature supple for free is gradually vanishing. I am worried that my future generation might not be able to see and feel for themselves how it is like to be. Please anyone who is in the permaculture family willing to help me, here is my email: richardtkutemo@gmail.com

Your assistance will be highly appreciated

We bought last year a small farm in central Switzerland about 4.5 hectares of meadow and 5 hectares of forest.
We are in the process of setting up a permaculture education site and we consider to become a part of the Permaculture master plan.
What are the conditions and prerequisit of a Permaculture master plan site?
How is the procedure to become a member of the Permaculture master plan?

love the site
I am interested in The Permaculture Master Plan – Permaculture Centres Worldwide.

I have land in the center of México (Guanajuato, 3 hrs NW from Mexico city) 5.5 has, sem-arid, 1900 m high. Even though there is a very healthy soil, the desertification in the area is high. I want to know more about how this project works because this is also my goal there. It would be great if we can get this idea work there.

Big hug

I am representing an organisation which is working on a same project, we are building earthships around the world and using the land for permaculture, my organisation is the green circle allaince, we already have land in south africa and our work began in Sweden, we are hoping we could lso get involved with you and work as n allied organisation, we are also working towards complete sustainability i am representing bangladesh where one of our sites will be , but the problem is we cannot buy big land for the project because we Bangladesh has the highest population density in the world and land costs are really high, so do you think you can help us with our projects specially less land but fertile land if thats the case……

Aloha,

I am located in Hawaii on the island of oahu. I and my husband have been swimming against the tide for sometime now trying to create a model of sustainability, that will be both classroom and example of what is possible. The costs and other challenges have made it nearly impossible to finish. Yet we stand determined and know there is a way, even though we do not know what it is at the moment.

What i am up against is a local gov’t who bought into the monsanto vision and they are destroying our islands and using us and our soils for the production of 1/3 of all GM seeds despite the locals disapprovals and attempts to stop the operation. We are also very much influenced by military experiments.

I have not gone to any of the permaculture classes offered here in Hawaii because the prices are just too steep, however i have tried to follow principals in Permaculture books.

My property is only a US acre, but i do have access to more family land. How does permaculture incorporate native indigenous peoples agriculture practices? My family has a long history of master gardeners and master farmers that worked for the chiefs and King Kamehameha. The way my family would allow me to have access to these lands is to one show them an economically sustainable example, and two to show them that i am maintaining our indigenous growing practices as our ancestors so successfully did.

OUr goal now is to work with organic farmers who know what they are doing and continue our projects to make this property a model of economic and environmental sustainability as best as is possible in the modern rural world.

Are you in touch with people who would be interested in work /living trade arrangement? I am also working with a producer to document our many farm and sustainability endeavors and nearly have all that wrapped up. the will be in charge of show distribution on local and webtv channels.

I know i don’t have the skills or knowledge, but i do have the desire and land.

Perhaps you can refer people to us if you know of anyone who’d like to assist us on any level. Our goal is like yours, to create sustainable properties that can teach and be an example of what is possible for humanity now and in the future.

your assistance and referrals would be much appreciated. Rb

we are looking for permaculture activists/locations in Westafrica for networking.
We had a PDC in Nigeria last year and with the participants we want to create a permaculture center in Lagos State/Nigeria and start networking with West-African partners.
