Learn scientific observation and ecosystem understanding while following developments in permaculture research, climate adaptation strategies, and community science tools. We track innovations in soil biology, seed preservation, environmental monitoring, and traditional ecological knowledge integration, applying scientific thinking to local environmental challenges.
Understand core principles of ecology, ecosystem dynamics, and biological relationships that form the foundation for all living systems work.
Master techniques for starting plants from seed, cuttings, division, and grafting while understanding the science of plant growth and development.
Analyze soil composition, structure, and biology using field and laboratory techniques to understand and improve growing conditions.
Design and implement systems for tracking environmental conditions, species populations, and ecosystem health using sensors, surveys, and observation protocols.
Understand and manage decomposition processes including hot composting, vermicomposting, and bokashi to transform organic waste into soil fertility.
Design and maintain aquaponics, hydroponics, and integrated aquaculture systems that combine plant cultivation with aquatic ecosystems.
Cultivate and work with beneficial microorganisms for fermentation, soil inoculation, and biological pest management.
Collect, process, store, and share seeds while understanding plant genetics, variety preservation, and community seed sovereignty.
Document plant species, phenology, and growing conditions using scientific observation methods, herbarium techniques, and botanical illustration.
Apply permaculture principles and regenerative practices to design productive landscapes that build soil, sequester carbon, and increase biodiversity.
Work with earth, straw, bamboo, and other natural materials to create structures that integrate with living systems and local ecologies.
Analyze material flows and design closed-loop systems that transform waste streams into resources within community-scale circular economies.
Develop strategies for adapting living systems to changing climate conditions while building community capacity for environmental resilience.
