Permiculture Design Course
Drylands Permaculture Design Course
Our Drylands Permaculture Design Courses provide essential skills for understanding and implementation of good Permaculture design. An intensive course with additional focus on the arid landscape which combines theory and practical experience as a comprehensive introduction to Permaculture principles in the context of arid environments.
In a world out of balance, we are all looking for solutions. Solutions to effective ways of growing healthy, organic food in urban environments. Solutions to ways of farming that can both feed a family, earn an income and build soil fertility. Solutions to ways of retrofitting an existing house or property that results in lower energy costs and better health for its inhabitants. Solutions that use intelligent, thoughtful design principles to build sustainable lives, and sustainable communities in a world of Peak Everything.
Permaculture principles, like any really good design principles, can be applied across any biosphere, any property, any landscape, any city. Permaculture is a network of well-grounded theories and techniques that, over time, result in sustainable and productive systems. Systems for living, architecture, food production, land management and community. No chemicals and no excuses. Just good, thoughtful, innovative and effective design for the needs of our species.
All Australian Farmers, Land managers, any sort of primary producer and also indigenous land managers can all do this course for FREE through the FarmReady scheme. There’s even an additional subsidy for travel and accomodation.
”What Permaculturists are doing is the most important activity that any group is doing on the planet.” Dr. David Suzuki (venerated ecologist, geneticist, author + broadcaster)
What is a Permaculture Design Certificate Course?
The PDC is an efficient & cost effective means of gaining the knowledge of Permaculture Ethics & Principles together with amassing skills, techniques & a knowledge base for designing & developing sustainable human settlements – from a small suburban home to a broad acre farm. A Milkwood Permaculture PDC involves daily workshops and active-learning exercises as well as classroom-style sessions, so that students can truly engage with the knowledge content of the course. This PDC delivers the curriculum from The Permaculture Institute of Australia (Bill Mollison). The curriculum is therefore based on Mollison’s
