The general aim of Association is the support and promotion of the permaculture development in Ukraine. We want to unify the efforts of those who have already successfully apply permaculture techniques in their households and to give them an opportunity to share experiences and support newcomers on this way. Our mission is to spread knowledge and promote the idea of permaculture in society. Permaculture is a world view principle, therefore when teaching permaculture it’s important to provide correct and comprehensive understanding of its principles and the teach how to use them in everyday life. Thus, we are going to establish the School of Permaculture in Ukraine in order to provide permaculture teaching at a high level driven by international standards and taking into account local conditions and needs.
Permaculture is the principle of creating human settlements and agricultural systems that are based on environmental knowledge and nature laws. The principles of permaculture focus on intelligent design small-scale intensive systems that are effective regarding the work unput and use biological resources instead of fossil fuel. Founded in the seventies of the last century by Australians Bill Mollison and David Holmgrein, permaculture has spread worldwide and recognised worldwide, demonstrating its effectiveness in different climates and areas. Permaculture Association of Ukraine is a non-governmental non-profit organization established to promote the dissemination of ideas and practices of permaculture in Ukraine.

Our goal is to connect producers with the customers directly avoiding the third parties, what would make the goods and services produced in sustainable way more accessible and affordable.
Permaculture Association of Ukraine will promote using of the permaculture tools to solve various ecological, social and economical problems in Ukraine, based on the international experience where similar problems were successfully slowed with the use of permaculture design.

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 TeacherWith 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. |
