Companion Planting. Marigolds + Melons Certain marigold varieties control nematodes in the roots of melon as effectively as chemical treatments. Tomatoes + Cabbage Tomatoes are repellent to diamondback moth larvae, which are caterpillars that chew large holes in cabbage leaves. Cucumbers + Nasturtiums The nasturtium's vining stems make them a great companion rambling among your growing cucumbers and squash plants, suggests Sally Jean Cunningham, master gardener and author of Great Garden Companions. Nasturtiums "are reputed to repel cucumber beetles, but I depend on them more as habitat for predatory insects," such as spiders and ground beetles.
Peppers + Pigweed Leafminers preferred both pigweed and ragweed to pepper plants in a study at the Coastal Plains Experiment Station in Tifton, Georgia. Just be careful to remove the flowers before the weeds set seed. Cabbage + Dill "Dill is a great companion for cabbage family plants, such as broccoli and brussels sprouts," Cunningham says.

Each of our future neighbors will get one hectare for free **yes for free! ** to build their home and garden on. That means every donator is possibly investing in his own future! Your donation creates.. - Together, we will protect virgin rainforest, rare animals and plants and - so important - pure and clean water springs, that are directly heading to the Amazone. - With your help, we create a role-model of an autarkic, free life. Stephane Amore. Help spread the permaculture word... If there is one message that we, at Permaculture magazine, would like to share with the world is that we can regenerate whole regions of the earth with handtools and human endeavour if we collectively choose to do so. We humans have an understanding of how to do this and it has already been done over many thousands of hectares in Zimbabwe, the Sahel region in Africa and in China on the Loess Plateau.
We can reverse the damage we have done to our planet and it is the voice of the people that will create this change. Let's raise our voices and tell this story everywhere where we can bring our influence to bear. This is a presentation from John D. Liu with additional film clips that explains how this has been done and why these methods have been tested out in many places. This is what John calls the 'Great Work of our Time' and it will recreate biodiversity, economic development linked with ecological function, and lock up carbon in the soil. This is the solution. Summary John D. Stories from the Energy Revolution. The energy revolution is already underway as people around the world embrace renewable energy in their communities. People around the world are coming together as communities to make this happen.
Telling success stories from energy pioneers in the UK, America, Europe, Asia and Africa, Howard Johns, author of Energy Revolution - your guide to repowering the energy system will tell you why it is happening and why there is no alternative. Hearing about climate change and global energy issues is a often very disempowering and worrying thing, but right now there is an opportunity to transform the energy system and fix the problem at the same time.
So from the challenge comes a story of hope, about how it is possible to achieve a wholesale transformation in our energy system in a short space of time, and one that not only benefits the planet but becomes an engine of well being in our communities.

Lancé en Irlande en 2012, le plan Origin Green rassemble le gouvernement, le secteur privé et les producteurs agroalimentaires. Pour ce programme d’ampleur en matière de développement durable, l’objectif est que la totalité des exportations agroalimentaires du pays soit issue d’exploitations agricoles durables en 2016. Et… les Irlandais semblent bien partis pour y parvenir. Avec Origin Green, les agriculteurs doivent réduire leur impact sur l’environnement, tout en servant au mieux les communautés locales et en protégeant les ressources naturelles du pays : un plan ambitieux à l’échelle nationale, que l’Irlande entend bien mener à son terme.
C’est Bord Bia, l’office de promotion des produits agroalimentaires irlandais, qui a lancé en juin 2012 le projet Origin Green, pour favoriser le développement durable dans toutes les filières agroalimentaires.

Not all of the sites below identify as permaculture sites, but we felt that each of them demonstrate permaculture principles in action in some way. The best place to find an up to date database and interactive map of permaculture projects is at the Worldwide Permaculture Network, a project of our fiscal sponsor, the Permaculture Research Institute.Ashaninka Forest Wisdom School, Brazil Since the 70s and 80s, a group of indigenous peoples, with the leadership of Ashaninka Apiwtxa village, have been developing methods of regenerating Amazon forest areas depleted by years of colonial occupation, and more recently, by the illegal actions of loggers.
Strategies have included replanting degraded forest areas, re-introducing native species who were becoming endangered, and the creation of fruit orchards and medicinal herb gardens. The school is a center for education about sustainable techniques, in an effort to share and build alliances with neighboring communities. Auroville, South India. Permacultureglobal.
