Project Summary

Raíces del Viento is a multifunctional centre and a bedrock for the delivery of goods & services related to agriculture, education, tourism and health; involving communities, sustainability and territory.

Project Description

Our mission is to work with individuals and communities to expand the knowledge and practice of integrated ecologic agriculture, sustainable development, natural medicine, natural building, education, tourism and spirituality under the concept of permaculture. Our vision is to be part of a cultural transformation while providing solutions for permanent abundance by training and empowering local and international people to become agents of change in their own communities and countries. It is, indeed, part of our mission to promote the decentralization and the grass root expansion of permaculture in Chile and the world. OBJETIVES Develop an active and inspiring model of a self sustainable permaculture system, innovative and sustainable, closely related to the communities and local economies Offer you a practical learning site of Sustainable Agriculture, Sustainable Development, Well-Being and Permaculture. Create a holistic and interdiciplinary learning network for students and volunteers around the globe. Generate strategic networks between the project, the community and institutions to promote local development associated with sustainable management.

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.

	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.
