About Permaculture Impact
Permaculture Impact is for permaculture and agroecological projects and organisations that are working with communities anywhere in the world.
Content has been developed in collaboration with community permaculture projects in Bolivia, Ghana, India, Kenya, Malawi and Nepal.
The courses and resources are offered free of charge, and are suitable for projects that are just starting out, as well as those that are already up and running.
The website is currently only available in English, but we hope to widen this to other languages in the future.
Let us know which languages you would like!
