I completed my PDC in Jordan in 2010 and I am currently in Australia doing an internship at Geoff Lawton's Zaytuna Farm in New South Wales. I will be returning to Greece upon its completion to help set up a permaculture farm on the island of Lefkas where, along with my colleagues, we hope to contribute to the educational progress regarding long term sustainable land use design in Greece and self sufficiency in food and resources, particularly during these increasingly precarious economic times.
