Alfred Decker’s passion in life has been ecological and social justice activism, of which permaculture has played a central part. “I love the natural world, and working with nature through permaculture has helped to ground and sustain me.” Since his first PDC in 1998 in California, Alfred has been involved with social movements and projects throughout Europe and the Americas. He is the founder of the 12 Principles Permaculture Design consultancy, Permacultura Barcelona and the Forest Gardens project at Can Masdeu; is a co-founder of the Spanish Permaculture Academy (Academia de Permacultura Íbera); and was a member of the European Permaculture Teachers Partnership and the Permaculture Council of Europe. Alfred holds a post graduate diploma in sustainable architecture and renewable energy (Centre for Alternative Technology).
After taking a permaculture teachers training with Rosemary Morrow in 2011, he undertook a two year mentorship and later co-taught six courses with her, ultimately earning a Diploma in Permaculture Education & Community Development in 2013 through the Blue Mountains Permaculture Institute (Australia). Committed to furthering the teachers’ training platform “Permaculture Teaching Matters” (PTM) that Rosemary developed in over three decades of teaching experience around the world, Alfred co-edited her forthcoming PTM manual and organised a successful crowdfunding campaign to develop the platform.
Alfred has given courses and talks widely throughout Europe…and is always looking for more opportunities to teach. His native tongue is English, and he speaks passable Spanish and French as well…next language to learn: Catalan!He is available for educational activities, design work and consulting.

En 2013 obtuvo un diploma en Educación y Desarrollo Comunitario de Permacultura (Blue Mountains Permaculture Institute—Australia). Hasta ahora ha enseñado por todos lados en Europa…y esta siempre en busca de más oportunidades para enseñar. Su lengua materna es inglés y habla pasablemente castellano y frances.
Alfred completó recientemente un diploma de postgrado en arquitectura sostenible y las energías renovables (Centro de Tecnología Alternativa). Está disponible para trabajos de consultoría y diseño.
