“There are over 850,000 permaculture projects world wide that feed more people than all food aid agencies combined.”
Warren Brush, Permaculture Trainer
Permaculture is a form of sustainable agriculture that increases food production, restores soils and forests, provides drought protection and safely recycles human and vegetable waste. Permacuture honors and draws on traditional farming and land preservation strategies. The everyday gandhis compound in Voinjama is Liberia’s first demonstration site, with 25 trained graduates including lettered and unlettered men and women, (Mandingo and Lorma) from the Voinjama area, and two people from Nimba county, and two observers from Foya District. Five graduates will come to the United States for further training in August 2008, with a ‘Training for Trainers’ in Liberia in Dec., 2008.
