My name is Omar Abuobeid, My first degree was in Plant Production from UJ, and then I studied my postgraduate in Apiculture in UWS and did a TAFE diploma in IT before I took a short course in Permaculture sponsored by Bankstown City Council. Later in 2010 I was trained by Geoff Lawton and obtained my PDC.

Worked for environmental conservation society as socioeconomic project consultant/manager for several years, then became a partner in a consulting and training firm specialised in environmental and sustainable sector.

Keen to learn and apply self sustained families/communities living in dry areas, including but not limited to water harvesting, creating fertile soils, saving energy and food processing
