A warm welcome to the 2018 permaculture design certificate course.
Through completion of this course I hope you will make meaningful progress towards seeing a rich new abundance of opportunities in creating functional regenerative farm systems that have the opportunity to heal our landscapes, provide our resources, support meaningful livelihoods and nurture our communities.
And as a start to all this I have found that direct application of the concepts covered to the development of a detailed site plan and management strategy is the best way to process and apply the learning materials.
The course has been designed to sequentially build concepts from foundation planning to managing principles, towards creating a functional and regenerative farm system.
Progress through the course is self-paced and dependent upon completion of design projects associated with each module. This allows you to complete the course as quickly or slowly as your time allows.
Support is available from myself via email: richard@agrifutures.co.nz
and via our Facebook course community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/158609054755218/
Feedback will also be provided on the design exercises associated with each module, which will then be used to create the final plan and management strategy for obtaining the Permaculture Design Certificate through Agrifutures. This certificate acts an international standard, recognising your grounding in permaculture design and opening further opportunities to extend your study our obtain working opportunities around the world on permaculture projects.
The content of the course and certificate awarded is recognised by Permaculture In New Zealand, which is the umbrella group for progressing permaculture education in New Zealand.
