The final leg of the 2 year diploma in Applied Permaculture is a presentation to peers. Johanna will share her 10 projects and 2.5 year journey with us, focusing on her most recent work: setting up a Permaculture demonstration site and reforestation project. She joins us from her new home, South Mexico where she and her husband are transforming a 1000 ha family ranch dedicated to cattle to include forestry plantations, biodiversity areas, silvopasture and food production. At the heart of their work is the goal to use Permaculture for development: introducing ideas such as compost toilets, grey water systems, food forests, composting and many more to the community they work with. Since her introduction to Permaculture in 2011, Johanna has used Permaculture design in a variety of contexts: land based, visual communication, community, education and alternative technology.

A great chance to find our more about the scope and applications of Permaculture: For newcomers, those already working on their diploma and anyone who wants to be inspired to begin that journey themselves!
