A new website for The Permaculture Research Institute
USA will be launching
soon.
The Permaculture Research Institute would like to announce the upcoming
launch of PermacultureUSA.org the web address for The Permaculture
Research Institute USA. PRI USA is a Not-for Profit charity based in The
USA, which is able to accept tax deductible donations from anyone paying
taxes in the USA.
The Mission of the Permaculture Research Institute USA is to work with
communities worldwide to expand the knowledge and practice of integrated
sustainable agriculture using the whole-systems approach of Permaculture
Design to provide solutions for permanent abundance by training local
people to become leaders of sustainable development in their communities
and countries.
PRI USA will facilitate this through demonstration sites within each
country and region. This will provide the experience of a permaculture
education site in a project setting specialising in the appropriate
technologies and systems specific to each country and region, both
culturally and biologically. All of this information will be networked so
all of the surrounding countries and regions can take advantage of this
information. It will also give students from the overdeveloped world (aka
the 1st world) the opportunity to work on projects in and with students
from the underdeveloped world (or the 3rd world)
PermacultureUSA.org will also be posting stories and project updates to
expand the awareness about what is really happening on the ground around
the world.
