About Our Organization
Indigenous Permaculture’s (IP) mission is to revitalize rural and urban communities through sustainable development, traditional farming, and appropriate technology.
Our goals are to:
- Re-establish wellness to Mother Earth and her people.
- Create community food security and self-sufficiency
We conduct this work in an affordable way that builds capacity within the community.
Indigenous Permaculture, or Cosmovision, is a way of thinking and living by following the original instructions we were given to live in balance with the world. These teachings assist people in achieving a symbiotic sustainable life within their environment by utilizing indigenous agricultural practices.
Permaculture reconnects human beings and the natural world in an effort to restore balance and natural law that will heal the earth and its people. Indigenous Permaculture is not new, it is wisdom from the past that tells us how to follow our original instructions from the Creator. By doing this we ensure our existence and a future for generations.
