There is an enormous wealth of information out there on our successful work with results on the ground, which seems to have leap frogged the need for study as we have demonstrated the results in such a diverse global and practical way.

The main stream has now caught up with permaculture and is now in the process of positioning around our system as the central design theme needed for not only a sustainable but an abundant, safe and happy civilized future world. At the extreme edges of development with the largest number of aid organization project development requests and increasing, to the largest sustainable for profit development design projects in the history of the world and increasing, we now find ourselves at this point in history being in extreme demand.

We now can lead by example the imperative theme required of scientific research and the policy of governments and because the vast majority of our work to date has been a self funded movement of people acting mostly as well meaning but also well trained volunteers, this makes our work and results real.

Permaculture globally now is preparing to position itself as a major education and training system on appropriate demonstration sites, and when the required funding arrives to rapidly expand throughout and lands and peoples of the earth, we are ready.

This we see as our responsibility at this point in time in the position we are in.

GREETINGS OF PEACE, LOVE AND HOPE FOR THE WORLD IN NEED.

FIRST OF ALL, I AM VERY GLAD TO WATCH VIDEOS ABOUT PERMACULTURE IN WHICH I ONLY DISCOVERED THRU SEARCHING THE INTERNET REGARDING AGRICULTURE AND FARMING, I’M VERY MUCH THANKFUL TO ALL THE PEOPLE BEHIND THIS VERY AMAZING IDEA PERHAPS THE BEST I’VE ENCOUNTERED SO FAR. I AM DEXTER MALE OF 34 YEARS FROM THE PHILIPPINES,IN ONE OF ITS ISLANDS CALLED BOHOL LOCATED IN THE CENTRAL PART OF THE COUNTRY WHERE YOU CAN ONLY FIND THE CHOCOLATE HILLS. EVER SINCE I WAS A CHILD I ALWAYS LOVE THE FIELD OF AGRICULTURE BUT SINCE OUR SOCIETY IN GENERAL DOESN’T PROMOTE IT PLUS THE COMMON THINKING OF MY GENERATION IS TO FIND EMPLOYMENT HERE OR ABROAD. THESE FACTORS WERE REASON WHY THE YOUTH ARE LIVING BEHIND THE LAND OR FARMS. THE EXODUS OF PEOPLE FROM RURAL AREAS TO THE URBAN JUNGLE FOR WORK MADE OUR AGRICULTURE SECTOR OR FOOD PRODUCTION DOWN TO THE POINT WHERE WE EXPORT RICE FROM OTHER COUNTRIES, THE PHILIPPINES WAS ONE OF THE LEADING PRODUCERS OF RICE AND OTHER FOOD PRODUCTS BACK THEN BUT KNOW WE IMPORT ALMOST EVERYTHING THUS MAKING OUR FOOD PRICES HERE VERY HIGH SO IT IS HURTING THE POOR PEOPLE MORE THAN EVER. I REALLY THINK THAT IF MY GENERATION WILL START TILLING THE LAND AGAIN FOR FOOD PRODUCTION, PLANTING TREES FOR MOTHER EARTH,INSTEAD IN FACEBOOK’S FARMVILLE AND MAKING SELF SUSTAINING ECONOMIES IN THE LOCAL SCENES STARTING IN THE REMOTE VILLAGES,THIS WILL SURELY HELP POOR PEOPLE A LOT AND THE WHOLE NATION ITSELF.
I AM VERY MUCH WILLING TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS PERMACULTURE AND SPREAD IT HERE LOCALLY, BUT I DON’T HAVE THE MEANS OF GETTING EDUCATED IN THIS FIELD, PLEASE E MAIL ME AT dexancla@yahoo.com ON WHERE OR WHAT TO DO, I REALLY WANT TO LEARN IT THRU EXPERIENCING THE REAL THING. CHEERS FOR MOTHER EARTH AND OUR CHILDREN’S FUTURE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
