The Permaculture Research Institute would like to announce the upcoming launch of a new website Permaculturejordan.org. Which will be the home of The Permaculture Research Institute Jordan. The main focus of PRI Jordan will be setting up a demonstration site in co-operation with the local Permaculture Society. Below is an excerpt from the full project proposal.
Jordan Valley Permaculture Project
1. PROJECT CONCEPT
To establish a model project of sustainable arid land development, demonstrating that all the basic needs for a healthy, meaningful, peaceful lifestyle can be affordable, understood and achieved by poor local people. The project site is typical marginal arid land settled by poor people of the area. It will feature demonstrations of energy efficient appropriate housing with natural cooling systems and a plant nursery attachment, solar electricity, solar hot water, biological waste water treatment recycling, dry compost toilet, rain water harvesting earthworks, diverse inter-active plant animal and tree systems for local food production and processing. The demonstration house will function as a classroom, administration office for the project and the local community permaculture group. Once established the project will serve as a model that can be replicated throughout Jordan and other counties in the region.
