Permaculture
A sustainable approach to agriculture
Permaculture is about sustainable agriculture practices and land management techniques and strategies from around the world.
Receive knowledge
Volunteers have implemented the garden in the previous Imece villages and organised the harvest in cooperation with our trained staff. They received lessons in permaculture and designed the garden according to the seasons and the needs of the residents of the Imece village. This work will continue in the new Imece village in 2023, as we currently only have a small permaculture garden in Basmane. In general, the volunteers are able to discover a new way of sustainable agriculture without the use of chemical fertilisers. For example, they learn how to sort waste from the community kitchen to make compost that becomes fertiliser. The aim is to create a sustainable ecosystem and raise people's awareness of this issue.
Pass knowledge on
When volunteers have enough knowledge in permaculture and ecology, they can give courses to other volunteers and to the people we work with. Permaculture is a way of farming and consuming that preserves nature and the environment and helps it to be more diverse and powerful. Through education and training we want to spread this approach.
