5: Training Subsidies

Subsidise the training of local people.

Other Information:

All courses will specialise in the appropriate technologies and systems specific to each country and region, both culturally and biologically. The ultimate aim is a worldwide network of interdependent communities who can cooperate to vision and rebuild economic harmony that is not dependent on perpetual growth or resource depletion and which reinvests all surpluses into their people and the land. The goal is to create self-replicating demonstration sites which will not only spread permaculture education worldwide, but also share knowledge and techniques between sites for the advancing of permaculture design systems themselves.
