1.4 billion people live in extreme poverty surviving on less than US$1.25 per day. More than two thirds of them live in developing countries. With the projected population growth to over 9.1 billion by 2050, global food production will need to increase by 70 percent per IFAD’s Rural Poverty Report 2011. With such heightened awareness of the need for sustainable solutions for international development, social entrepreneurship, and community building, permaculture has continued to rise as one of the most effective integrated, sustainable design methodologies that provides the framework for designing landscapes and living systems that promote stability, biodiversity, and resilience for individuals and communities around the world.
Quail Springs Permaculture is proud to announce the launch of their first annual Permaculture Design Certification (PDC) Course developed exclusively for International Development Professionals and Social Entrepreneurs hosting a dynamic lineup of world-renowned instructors from June 18, 2012 through July 1, 2012 at Quail Springs’ site in Southern California.
