Project Summary

A permaculture driven indipendent micro-farm in the North West of Italy - a fair, local, sustainable, healthy food production

Project Description

"Grow nutrient rich food for our family and the local community in an ecological, sustainable and oil-free way without depleting our lives and our planet" This was our core concept ten years ago when we started our journey in the micro-farming world. After ten years of studies, books, trials and errors, learning, dirty hands and bruised knees on rented plots we have reached two of our main goals: we now own 2.7 acres of fluvial plain in Lessolo (To). In the north-west Italy we have collected a shareable 'microfarm-toolbox' filled with design, plan, business and hand tools In the last three years, the first on the property, we have applied our farm model with good results in the fields and on the local community and we are more and more persuaded that locally rooted, organic, ecologically designed microfarm could be one powerfull answer to the social, economical and environemental crisis.

Legend of Badges

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

pri_teacher

PRI Teacher

With the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable.

PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows.
