What is permaculture?

Permaculture is a design thinking process pointing to create human centred ecosystems that provide a thriving environment for both, humans and nature. What is it that we humans need to thrive; and what does the land and the ecosystem need to thrive; are questions that move us forward here. Permaculture is about having a conversation with the land and with each other. It ́s an interactive process, that helps us to find effective and integrative solutions for a sustainable use of land.

The connection to shyft (http://www.shyft.org):

Permaculture contributes to the shyft of paradigms that hold up our current way of food production. By reclaiming our abilities to grow food ourselves, live in community with each other and by learning to communicate with the land we can become activists of change.

Where is it happening?

The introductory workshop is happening at “The Brehmweg Farm”, a two year old urban permaculture site in Hamburg Eimsbüttel. You can read more about it here:
