The Permaculture Research Institute
(CPRI) of Barbados has been in the making since 2012 and I am proud to
finally announce that our project has started.
A couple days ago CPRI launched its
KickStarter crowdfunding video campaign which I would like to share with
you. The purpose of our project is to set up a permaculture school in
Barbados to teach, educate and demonstrate through the principles of
permaculture how to grow food, repair landscapes & build community.
Permaculture is a design science, inspired by nature and guided by
ethics. Its purpose is to meet the needs of humanity while benefiting
the environment. To this end, it empowers individuals, local communities
and the larger public to build sustainable & environmentally
friendly:
- Food and Land Systems
- Social and community systems
- Shelter and home systems
- Livelihood and business systems
I hope you will take the time to watch
the video. If this campaign is successful, it will help ensure the life
of this project, a project which I am committed to for the next 3 years.
It is super exciting for me to share it with you and I hope, you find
it exciting too!
