Discovering PERMACULTURE

I spent last week in Tenerife attending a training course about Permaculture, in the context of the European project PERMIND that I work in.

It was a great opportunity to learn about the fascinating permaculture approach applied to recovery process and to share experiences with partners from Greece, Slovenia and Spain.

The main principle of the permaculture is cultivating the soil. The idea is that if you have a good soil then you can plant what the season and the weather allow you to have and without using any chemicals.

Good soil means rich of nutrients from compost and covered by a layer of “organic skin” (made by hay, grass and vegetable waste, woodchips and plant twigs and branches).

I was impressed by the design of the garden that is chaotic and without a precise order as in the nature happens. The principle is that the biodiversity is important and the co-existence of different plants in the same area allow them to be more resistant to diseases.

What if…do we follow the nature principle to design food systems?
