Project Description

“Lua” is one of the hilltribe in Thailand. We were moving from mountain to mountain due to the political conflict between communist and democracy around 1967. One night, we were running away from a big fighting with families without any food. We have no even shoes. Then, the government gave us lands and we tried to grow our own food for survival. The soil was bad and poor. We have no education from school but we learn everything from our generation, our grandparents, parents, and seniors.

We learn to plant, build and preserve our seed by using the technique being taught from our tribal. Few years ago we found out that our traditional practises are actually the same idea and ethics of permaculture (even we did not know about “permaculture” from book or course).

Now we have a land which is planting fruits trees, vegetables, tree for construction, fire woods and we are on the way of producing rice because it is our main cereal. Unfortunately, recently the areas around north of Thailand are more and more being polluted by agricultural synthetic chemicals. Human lifestyle is getting away from the nature and causing not only negative impact to our health, but also destroying our Earth environment. Most of the useful traditional practices are also being forgotten by new generation. Nevertheless, nowadays we can find many people who are sick or having diseases due to the pressure of life, unhealthy diet or life style, contact of synthetic chemicals being used by human, and many other reasons.

Now, we are on the way of achieving our dreams. In Sahai Nan Organic Farm, we aim to be the education centre and real life example of organic farm to help the local people here to be away from conventional chemical monoculture planting. We love the simple living just like our last generation did, we enjoy being in the nature and conserving nature at the same time.

We need assists for developing our farm. We are looking for more man power and volunteers to help us in farm by using the permaculture and sustainable way. Anyone who love to contribute or learn are welcome with warm hearted. Come join and play with us.

Legend of Badges

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

pri_teacher

PRI Teacher

With the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable.

PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows.
