TRAINING IN PERMACULTURE
with international certification
FULL
Permaculture offers solutions to many of the challenges – climatic, economic and social – that we face. Solutions based on the observation of Nature and its patterns and the awareness that we are part of it.
We propose a whole series of monographic workshops to delve deeper into the different areas that Permaculture covers, facilitated by a great team of professionals and trainers.
This training will enable participants to gain a deep understanding of Permaculture concepts and tools and the ability to design and carry out their own regenerative projects.
You can attend just one workshop, or several, but whoever completes the cycle will obtain the internationally recognized Permaculture Design Certificate (CDP).
Price: 1.500 € (payment of 500 € to make the booking)

Regenerative Agriculture.
By Mia Igual.
FULL
Regenerative Agriculture is capable of restoring our degraded systems and transforming them into rich and productive ones.
Contrary to the dominant agri-food model, Regenerative Agriculture promotes the global sustainability of the system by putting soil care at the centre, enhancing its recovery, fertility and biodiversity.
Introducing livestock as an integrating element of the farm, keeping the soil always covered, studying hydrology in the landscape… are just some of the practices that increase the capture of CO₂, creating more organic matter and soil. Healthier soils equal crops with a greater capacity to absorb nutrients and resist adverse weather conditions.
With Regenerative Agriculture we can repair the damage generated by the industrial agriculture farming model.
PROGRAM
Day 1 (from 09.00 to 19.30)
* A. Regenerative os A. Conventional

* Practice: implementation on a plot
Price: 150 € (includes both meals)
