Maya Mountain Research Farm (MMRF), a demonstration farm in rural southern Belize... Using permaculture, appropriate technology and renewable energy we have established and are continually improving a model agricultural system predicated on biodiversity. MMRF is a research and training center dedicated to promoting applied biological diversity as a means of ensuring food security.

Maya Mountain Research Farm is fairly remote. We are two miles up river from the predominantly Kek'chi Mayan village of San Pedro Columbia, in Belize's southernmost district of Toledo... We are about a mile and a half's walk on rugged trails from the ancient Mayan ruins of Lubaantun. The river emerges from the ground 1/4 mile up river from us, and the drainage for this watershed begins in the Columbia River Forest Reserve, a 100,000 acre, unique, fairly pristine natural area of broadleaf forest. We are in a wonderful location, on the one hand connected to the village by the river that is the local highway, and on the other hand in close proximity to high bush in the Columbia River Forest Reserve...

Course will be taught in English. Belize, a former British colony, is the only English-speaking country in Central America.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belize
