Permaculture is much more than a cultivation method; it's a way of life, a design concept for agricultural spaces and gardens aimed at creating sustainable ecosystems. Whether you want to take over a farm, develop an agricultural project, or invest in a nursery, the principles of permaculture apply to all forms of agriculture and natural resource management. Learn how to design spaces that take care of nature, people, and the world around us.


Why train in permaculture?

Permaculture training offers you an immersive experience to get your hands on the soil, design environmentally friendly gardens and agricultural projects. The techniques you'll learn will enable you to create productive spaces, whether in a garden, a food forest, or a farm. With a practical approach, you'll be able to adapt the tools and modules taught to your own project, whether it is professional or personal.
