Bhumis farm is a slaughter free permaculture farm, integrating animals (cows and horses) with growing vegetables for food, and using left over resources from the local community.
The first day the focus is on introducing permaculture, using Bhumis farm as an example of an existing permaculture farm in development. Subjects covered will include: The background of Permaculture, etymology (what does it mean?), permaculture ethics and principles, sector and zone analysis, site observation and analysis, goal setting, functions and elements a “wild” design.
The second day is focused on creating a social design for the farm, using an adapted permaculture design process and learning while doing. The day will be mostly focused on working together, both in a larger circle and in smaller groups, subjects covered are goal setting, communication, vision/context, connecting people to the vision through a structured interview process, analyzing wants and needs, social zoning, and finally putting all the pieces together in a concept/design suggestion.
Cost is 600kr/day or 1000kr for both days. Those wishing to join the second day only should have prior permaculture experience, a PDC or at least an introduction course and some prior experience in practicing permaculture.
