I have graduated Journalism and Communication.
I became interested in Permaculture by searching the Internet up and down for real solutions to the worlds most conspicuous problems - soil and water deficiency, food production, breakdown of communities, etc. After reading and watching all the data I could get my hands on I started applying some techniques to a piece of land that I own.
Then, I finally decided to save some money and take Geoff Lawton's online PDC. After completing it, I can honestly say this is the best money I ever spend.
I intend to put some small projects together first and gather experience that will allow me to become a reliable permaculture consultant.
