Permaculture Soils Course

The Permaculture Soils Course redefines ‘sustainable agriculture’ as ‘our ability to build soil fertility as we improve production and reduce cost and labor’. Very few systems are able to achieve this goal in an affordable and achievable way.

This year we are holding this course at The Permaculture Research Insitute’s Zaytuna Farm from the 8th – 12th of August, 2016. You will leave the farm with the tools to be more productive in your backyard, in a greenhouse, on the farm, or in the city. This course will give you a firm foundation for building soil fertility, achieving food security and food sovereignty with the knowledge to grow affordable food, almost anywhere.

We take the mystery out of the complex sciences of specialist composting, soil microbiology and plant nutrition and we teach you how to manage and apply solutions in easy to understand, easy to apply forms.

Who should Attend:

  • Anyone interested in building soil fertility and recovering degraded soils.
  • Gardners and horticulturalists interested in reducing labor and increasing production.
  • Farmers and farm managers.
  • Land reclamation and reforestation groups.
  • Soil consultants, composting consultants and agronomists.
  • Permaculturalists and permaculture consultants.
