The word permaculture refers to ‘permanent agriculture’, and it is a set of design principles centred around simulating, or directly using features observed in natural ecosystems. This course is suited to those who understand the basics of permaculture and would like to enhance their skills and knowledge further.
The Certificate of Permaculture is an online professional development program that will further develop your understanding of how to plan and develop a productive, self-sustaining and environmentally stable permaculture system.
In this permaculture course, you will explore the nature and scope of permaculture concepts, including energy recycling, plant identification, biological pest control, ecology and ecosystems.
You will also learn how to describe the characteristics of soils, climate, water and forest systems, and apply this knowledge to a permaculture design environment.
On completion of this course, you will have gained insights into the variety of disciplines that relate to permaculture, and how its unique and visionary approaches can assist those looking for a more sustainable and eco-friendly way of living.
