GREEN BANGKOK<\/a> – URBAN Permaculture Courses<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n Half humanity now live in cities. Cities have large ecological and human effects on the planet. Most food goes into cities and cities need to reduce their food footprint and food miles. Cities are not using systems well, they need to use their resources better, with fresher better food and saving money reducing the costs to live in the city, get more time off, learn about soil and nature NEXT course:<\/strong><\/span> LOCATION:\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong> Mida Airport Hote<\/a>l,\u00a0\u00a0 – <\/strong>99\/401-486 Soi Benjamitr, Chaeng Wattana Road, Chaeng Wattana Lak Si, Bangkok 10210.\u00a0MAP Click here<\/a>\u00a0 <\/span>Phone:<\/span>02 574 1648<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Urban environments are being rejuvenated around the world by Urban Permaculture. Come learn the many ways communities, developers, governments, neighborhoods and individuals are making cities better places to live.\u00a0 Lowering carbon footprint, improving the urban environment, cleaning the air, filtering water, creating urban food production, increasing energy efficiency, adding better ecological design. We will see that building community resilience and healthy nutrient dense food and\u00a0 food security go hand in hand.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n <\/a><\/a><\/a><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Current trends in Urbanization<\/p>\n Introduction to Permaculture<\/p>\n Pattern in Nature and urban re-design Urban vertical designs<\/p>\n Visit to Bangkok roof top Food Garden<\/span> School Gardens – Edible School Gardens<\/span> – how to integrate a school garden into school curriculum, recycling and sustainability and growing food in a school environment.

He has been teaching Permaculture for a number of years and runs a Permaculture Education and Demonstration farm in Thailand.\u00a0 Urban Permaculture is the edge in living within urban environments. New ideas, new techniques and new methodologies of designing urban environments allow us to complement and regenerate natures power, making better neighborhoods, saving and cleaning water, growing nutrient dense wholesome foods and being sustainable, these capacities in designing urban people-scapes are found in Urban Permaculture design.\u00a0 From a roof top garden, to a balcony container garden, to redesigning residential neighborhoods to back yard gardens, to composting methods and community gardens. This URBAN Permaculture Course by PIA covers them all. Join us for three great days of viewing the city as open to the intellect.

We need to be inclusive in our designs and empower nature to help us make cities and the suburb’s resilient, cleaner, healthier and ultimately flourishing,\u00a0 so both nature and people can not just survive but thrive, and\u00a0 we need to work closely in partnership with the people and organizations who have been focusing on cities for a long time by bringing our ideas and knowledge. The more teaching and projects about Urban Permaculture and nature we do in and around cities, the more we share and expose to both older and young urban dwellers, then the more we show how we can “include and empower natural solutions to urban problems\u00a0 by design”\u00a0 so cities, urban areas and humanity can benefit from its regenerative, sustainable nature. Join us on this journey of international city thinking, learn how to use large scale Permaculture design\u00a0 to regenerate our cities, using vibrant natural ecosystems by design.<\/p>\n References:<\/p>\n Future Cities Collaborative<\/a><\/p>\n Urban Land Institute<\/a><\/p>\n Smart Cities UNSW<\/a><\/p>\n Center for Urban Innovation<\/a><\/p>\n Eco Districts – Summit\u00a0 – Cities for All<\/a><\/p>\n STAR Communities<\/a><\/p>\n GREEN Building Council<\/a><\/p>\n Environment Institute of NZ and Australia <\/a><\/p>\n Food Waste Network<\/a><\/p>\n Food Services Footprint<\/a><\/p>\n VIDEOS:<\/p>\n International City Thinking at Large Scale – (Video)<\/a><\/p>\n Foodservice Footprint Bench marking<\/a><\/p>\n Food Waste Recycling<\/a><\/p>\n United Against Food Service Waste<\/a><\/p>\n Peak Moment Urban Possibility with Permaculture Design – (Video)<\/a><\/p>\n

\nSince being founded 40 years ago, Permaculture has built a strong track record of helping solve major environmental challenges as desertification on the Loses Plateau<\/a> in China. We need to mobilize similar solutions in our urban areas, using similar Permaculture principals and technology.\u00a0 Permaculture has developed world-leading expertise in practical science-based outcomes, we are now working hard on inclusive policy and are working more in multi-stakeholder approaches to urban living.\u00a0 As Permaculturists we have always focused on collaboration with others. We can now bring these same skills to our work within cities, urban areas and suburbs and to intensifying food growing areas in and around cities.
\nFrom our experience we know nature can help cities solve some major environmental, financial, social and “quality of life” challenges. Nature-based solutions play a major role in providing clean drinking water, clean air, healthy robust soils, and lower pollution impacts from and on cities. Working with schools and institutions, we connect new, younger and more diverse people with nature ensuring the next generation of environmental stewards and supporters are with us on this journey of harmony with nature and Permaculture principal discovery.<\/p>\n
