Permaculture Farming

Posts Tagged ‘permaculture work’

Question: I work with an organic farm that wants to register in Thailand for Community-based organization status. How?

The farm wants to apply for grants to implement Permaculture projects and become a community-learning center. To do so, we’d need CBO or non-profit status in Thailand, I’d imagine. Any ideas?

Answer: CBO is USA wording, meaning money comes from a central organization, such as a City Department of Human Resources, which obtains its operating money from a US Block Grant or US Housing and Developing Fund or even Federal Give Away Trust.

Find one of those US Taxpayer supported Departments in Thailand or a similiar money give-a-way Agency in your country, and a person who knows how to spend 24/7 writing up a US federal grant by the Free China or from the Main Land of China—you will have your CBO

HEAVEN ON EARTH – Permaculture with Rico Zook

Many people ask the question: �How Does Permaculture Work?� To understand how Permaculture works, you first need to understand what Permaculture is. The concept and idea of Permaculture has been around since 1978 when Bill Mollison and his colleagues published series of books and documents on Permaculture.

Like most things in the world, if you don’t like something, it is unlikely that you will be able to convince everyone else to not like it just like you do. While you cannot control what others do, you can start by changing the way you do things. In Permaculture, you start by changing your lifestyle and natural resources and energy consumption habits. If everyone does the same thing that you do (following the Permaculture way) then the earth’s natural resources will last much longer and everyone will benefit.

Start living the Permaculture way

Anyone can start following the Permaculture principles any time and from any where. The first step is to determine where you are now in terms of what natural resources are you consuming on a daily basis. Everyone needs to live and different people consume energy and natural resources differently. Once you know how much natural resources you are using, you can start fixing it.

Working and living in the Permaculture system

There are many things you can do to follow the permaculture ecology principles. You can start applying the concept and the principles of permaculture to yourself, your home, then your neighbors, your community, your town and then proceed to apply the permaculture way on a larger scale. Every decision you make in life can be considered and evaluated to ensure that they are permaculturally sound. For example, you can choose a location that is permaculturally optimal for energy saving. You can use local materials to build your home, choose location that is near where you usually travel to in order to lower travelling costs, choose a location that is near supplies that you need such as groceries, food, etc.

Of course, different people have different factors to consider which is why there is not one rule of permaculture written in stone. Each person needs to consider what they could do to help the world ecologically.
