Lövshult Permakulturdesign

Project Type

Rural, Residential

Project Summary

About two acres with a mix of a small leaf forest, a small lake, a sloop with our house between a small field at the top and the small lake at the bottom, and a small pond next to the house. The house is small as well...

Project Description

We (me, my husband and our 4 kids, the 2 cats, a lot of fish and RedBee shrimps in aquariums and 2 hamsters) start moving in here during January to March, and aim to stay here for the next decades.

During spring and summer we are attending the 72 hour Permaculture Certificate Course nearby, and using our own home as a project to work with during the course.

While I in particular have a huge urge to work in a larger scale, I realize that we will be perfectly busy for the next years building our food forest, our swales and aquaponics, our drinking water and solar electricity systems, our food storage cellars and hen houses, our year-round veggie harvest areas and our angora rabbit wool producing coops.

Our long term goal is to achieve the status of a teacher (well, two teachers) so we can get people out here to see for themselves and see if they actually start to want to know more about this, and if so, we are able to facilitate that wish and teach them all we know about it.

This area is not a deserted wasteland area, quite the opposite, but we really are eager to get our own food production systems at work here! We have so many ideas that we long to start implementing... and we'll definitely keep you updated on them all! Cheers! :)

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.
