Project Summary

Walden farm is a big family farm in Sichuan province, China. It has more than 300 hectares and more than 100 workers. Since some years ago, in Walden Farm we are in the fascinating process to transform from an industrial farm to an ecological one. We believe that humanity and nature can develop in harmony, so that’s the direction that we want to follow. Nowadays in the context of China it’s not so common to find sustainable development of both agriculture and construction, but in Walden farm we are trying to make this dream become a reality. And that’s why we are looking for volunteers with passion and creativity to join us with their projects and ideas. We believe that people with good ideas must have the opportunity to develop them and make them real. So we give all the facilities to carry out volunteers projects related to ecological farming, permaculture, sustainable architecture, and arts in Nature. We offer to the volunteers free accommodation and meals in an incredible environment, and all the material support that they need to work on their projects, as well as help for the visa extension and anything else that they need. Walden farm is a place where people from different cultures and backgrounds can meet, exchange knowledge and experience and learn from each other. In Walden farm we are very interested in permaculture. We are so excited to start farming according to the permaculture principles, and that’s why we are looking for volunteers with specific skills in that field. We need to develop systems which are more healthy for all of us, to make the land of our ancestors a better place to live in the present and in the future. So if you are a creative and enthusiastic person with knowledge about permaculture and you can think of a project that can feet in Walden farm, please check our website: https://www.waldenfarm.org/permaculture/ You can also contact us for any question at: [email protected] You are very welcome to join the Walden farm community!

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.
