Permaculture according to Bill Mollison is the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems which have the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems. We help our clients in designing the land and suggesting where specific projects should be implemented, what type of crops and trees to plant, where to build dams if need be etc.
Our training covers topics such as introduction to permaculture, food security, soil health, seed saving techniques, food forests and zoning just to mention a few. We also help our clients set up kitchen gardens and provide follow up visits on implemented projects to ensure their sustainability.
Before any farming takes place, we have to ensure that the soil and water to be used is good in order to maximize on productivity and correct whatever needs to be corrected. We help the clients with sampling before sending the samples to our service providers who will analysie the same and send it reports with recommendations.
