Per·ma·cul·ture- the development of agricultural ecosystems intended to be sustainable and self-sufficient.

Permaculture design drawn by a permie's daughter.

This course is aimed at those who want to learn how to implement permaculture concepts and techniques both in the US and the developing world. Food is quickly becoming one of the world's most compromised resources. Knowing how to return our understanding to the original design will be instrumental in the days to come as more and more we must know how to grow our food and grow it sustainably.

We also aim this course towards midwives. Why teach a course on permaculture in a midwifery program, you might ask? Because, as Elizabeth Davis notes, "There is hardly a perinatal complication that cannot be forestalled or mediated to some degree by good nutrition." Proper access to proper food ensures not only maternal health, but newborn and child health as well, and lowers the risk of infection. Maternal and child mortality are both leading causes of death worldwide and can be all but eliminated if women had better access to better food. The more we know how to grow our own medicines, the better we can serve our clients.

This course is a mandatory two-week course. Lectures and assignments are done on-line via webinar and forums and the hands-on practical application portion is completed in the greater Bozeman, Montana area.

Do you want to be a sanctuary of food for your community?

This workshop will introduce you to how you can grow food better and with less economic input. This system of farming adheres more closely to the original design than any other method to date. Understanding permaculture concepts and applying the methods in rural and developing world situations can change nations.
