Ecoaldea Nutriclaje

Project Type

Urban, Rural, Residential, Commercial, Intentional Communities, Demonstration, Educational

Project Summary

Ecoaldea Nutriclaje is 2600 square meters of land donated to eRECICLAJE by Eduardo Cardona, neighbour of the Altavista neighborhood after a CleanUp in 2007, so we could ran the eRECICLAJE operation and bring permaculture to this neighborhood with deep environmental and social problems.

Project Description

We have used natural building to restore two houses. One of them is currently being rented by our friends of the Vegan Restaurant Vegarden. This has stregthened our finances and allowed us to also barter food for services like gardening and composting at the restaurant. Our land is sloped, 90% covered with 30 year old mangos, guayabas, bananas, coffee, pomarosas, sweet and bitter oranges, tangerines and lemons. The previoues owners used to dump their trash on site and never took care of the trees. We have cleaned up the farm, and built a series of trails, swales and berms in order to improve the quality of the soil by retaining nutrients and moisture.

We have also installed biocarbon filters to the toilets and heavily planted the diversion swales that conduct runoff to two small ponds we dug for that purpose. At the moment we are planning the building of a workshop area using bottlebricks, cob and a green roof. Also a biodigester, and spa area are planned to be built in 2012. We use the land to store the bottlebricks we get from ereciclaje.com, to process the compost we collect at zero waste events and clients to whom waste management is provided. Volunteers have come and gone and also children and elders from the neighborhood are wellcome to learn by doing with us. Our gardens are starting to produce tomatoes, and we have started a process of continually sprouting the seeds we get from the resturant. We are starting the production of processed foods to sell at the restaurant and organic stores in town.

Legend of Badges

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

pri_teacher

PRI Teacher

With the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable.

PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows.
