What we do

We started working in 2010 with a team of people that studied in the PRI in Australia, guys from Canada, UK, USA y Russia came to Mexico to team up with a group of local young guys that find´t have a job or went to school at the time. During those days the work focused into learning and practicing permaculture in a degenerated land in one of the most driest places in Hidalgo, Mexico. The objective was to show that permaculture was a very eficient technique to produce food and restore land. With very interesting findings and with good results we kept working to start working with specific government projects around different municipalities from hidalgo, reaching a 3 year long work in more than 45 different places. The motivations that kept us going was, to involve more people into the movement, to show them that a better way to produce and live was possible and that communitarian practices were the base were everything could be set.
We tried and keep trying to get funding from government, and enterprises, looking to apply those resources into better ways to take care of the need of people. Like a Trojan horse looking to change the system from within.

Fall part time Permaculture Design Course

Dates: 9 weekends (16 days) from Sept 8th -Dec 9, 2018 What better way to wind down the growing season than to embark on a permaculture design course? During this 100 hour course students learn to read the landscape, analyse problems, and design ecological solutions for the home, garden, or city. The Permaculture Design Certificate is a participatory and dynamic learning experience; classes include in-depth permaculture theory, design methodology, exercises, and group projects. They also include a whole lot of deep questioning, laughter, and growth! The curriculum we follow at P3 was developed by the late Bill Mollison in Australia in the 1970’s, and is today regarded as the standard in permaculture education, recognized and respected worldwide. At P3, our facilitators emphasize that permaculture goes beyond gardening and agriculture. With permaculture we can design solutions for: food deserts, the heat-island effect, and mis-managed waste systems. With edible landscaping and ecological architecture, we can increase the efficiency of our homes, our farms, and our communities. The solutions-based vision of permaculture practice is holistic and regenerative. P3 Permaculture alum have used their PDC to start projects and businesses in permaculture consultation, education, ecological agriculture, regenerative community organizing, urban farming, composting, and much more. The PDC program helps students to closely observe the natural principles and patterns that drive ecological systems. Understanding nature and our place within it is the first step towards healing broken systems. We hope that you can join us!
