Student project in urban design on  KTH architecture year 3 autumn 2012  

Our own nurseries help us propagate and develop our land here in the Peruvian Amazon. They are simple structures made of rainforest palm fronds, already felled trees and bark. When you support nature in the smallest ways, it pays you back in the beauty it spreads. http://www.facebook.com/photo.p...

Lindö City is a political statement. A manifesto aimed at changing our attitude to the use of agricultural land. A small town of 2000 people. City planning with a permaculture focus.

Dug a bit of swale but stopped due to frost..planted ash seeds on the mound..about 180 seeds...from what ive read not all of them germinate, and some germinate 2nd year after planting   Also (because the swale melted) bought a 1.5m mesh fence (20m lenght) for the chickens to scratch, getting it...

The expansion of the project continues. Our focus has shifted lately to the development and integration of the Shed, a 12 ft by 16 ft stick frame building that was built 20 years or so ago by the last owners. Last year the greenhouse was completed and is permanently attached to the south side o...

There has been some push back about me operating a “permaculture institute” when I have not completed a Permaculture Design Course. My intent was to have teachers with certificates teach at the institute but that has not yet happened. My sense of the general understanding within the perm...

Highly productive Urban Farm on 1 ac lot

Here we are transporting some baby plants on our permaculture and agroforestry farm in the Peruvian Amazon. We have to carry all of our plantings by hand rather than wheelbarrow because the soil is saturated by the frequent rainfalls of our region. Given the efforts it takes to cultivate the land...

Modified the previously approved council plan, which was an ill conceived straight route that would have required increased earthworks in favour of a slightly longer (more work) twisting climb that follows the natural contours up the hill to pending ground Zero After earthworks the side cut will...

Blockhill is a small household scale food forest and organic garden with integrated water catchment and distribution. We are working with nature to rehabilitate this land while developing an enjoyable habitat that supports and nourishes us and the other inhabitants, occupants and participants. W...

Everything about this property aims to please one’s senses, and, even more, one’s Soul. That’s why, when I was thinking about a celebratory project for a landmark birthday, I was inspired by Nunkeri itself to create something beautiful and lasting that would be a gift to all who come here. The ...

The dawning of the southern United States' premier permaculture farm!

Having recently stumbled upon the permacultureglobal website, I am filled with a renewed sense of delight at the possibility of creating a really functional and edible food forest. I have been pottering around what is Zone 1 and Zone 2 for quite a few years, and have popped in a fruiting s...

As of 2011 in Peru, chronic malnutrition in children under 5 years old was reported to be 15.2%. In the U.S., 69% of the population is overweight with roughly 36% listed as obese according to the Harvard School of Public Health. These realities are both dire and represent some of the many reasons...
