Focus on food - A Panya Project Initiative

Project: The Panya Project

Posted by Kyle Smith over 10 years ago

In response to the call for the international permaculture community to reclaim our food freedom the Panya community has decided to launch an initiative called 'Focus on Food” designed to enable us to reach our goals of food production and promoting perm

The theme of the 2014 International Permaculture day was “Reclaiming Food Freedom”, around the world, permaculture gardens and education centres opened their doors to showcase permaculture design and empower people to learn how to reclaim their food freedom. In response to the call for the international permaculture community to reclaim our food freedom the Panya community has decided to launch an initiative called "Focus on Food" designed to enable us to reach our goals of food production and promoting permaculture through education.

During the following year we plan on focusing our attention on designing new food systems, rejuvenating and tweaking existing systems on our farm. These systems will not only increase our food production and security but they will also be used to demonstrate permaculture design and sustainable food production systems to our visitors. We also plan to empower individuals to reclaim their food freedom through various courses we will run over the next year, which will provide course participants with the opportunity to learn how to use permaculture design in their daily lives and to experiment with various sustainable food production practices.

Once these systems are established and producing abundantly we plan to have a more active role in the Organic Vegetable Cooperative in our local village Moo Ban Mae Jo and the various farmers markets in Chiang mai. Additionally we will continue to promote permaculture and self-sufficiency making it accessible to the local village by hosting open days showcasing permaculture design and our food production systems, and providing guidance and assistance where needed.

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.

	Member A member is a permaculturist who has never taken a PDC course. These cannot become PDC teachers. Members may be novice or highly experienced permaculturists or anywhere in between. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Permaculture Matchmaker One of these badges will show if you select your gender and the "I'm single, looking for a permaculture partner" option in your profile.
	PDC People who claim to have taken a Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) course somewhere in the world.
	PDC Verified People who have entered an email address for the teacher of their PDC course, and have had their PDC status verified by that teacher. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	PRI PDC People who’ve taken a Permaculture Research Institute PDC somewhere in the world.
	PDC Teacher People who claim to teach some version of PDC somewhere in the world.
	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.
	Aid Worker The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to be involved in permaculture aid work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture aid worker experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Consultant The individual with this badge is indicating they are, have, or would like to do paid permaculture design consultancy work. As such, the individual may or may not have permaculture consultancy experience. Watch their updates for evaluation.
	Community Project Community projects are projects that help develop sustainable community interaction and increase localised resiliency.
