Food Forests, Regenerative farming and Permaculture

5-9.11.2020

In this 5 days event we will learn the basics of Permaculture, Regenerative Farming and the principles of food forests.
We will learn how we can regenerate degraded soils, how the forests works and how to read the state of a landscape and how we can design regenerative systems in regards to humans and nature.
As a learning environment we will have the Southern Lιghts project base, which is since 5 years in its transition to a food forest with more than 100 fruit trees and shrubs, while having more than 35 years of organic and soil regenerative farming as a past.
With our brilliant, and truly inspiring Permaculture tutor Giuseppe Sannicandro, we will get an insight into the global movement of regenerative farming practices while learning from his deeply rooted philosophical approach on the aforementioned topics.

Aim

Understand permaculture principles, create a database of plants based on layers, life cycle and their system, learn about chemical connections between plants.

Impact:

2 food forest designs in Greece and 1 in France, planting many species at the farm, improving pruning skills
