New, reformatted program!

Newly reformatted into a more intensive, shorter program, the Regenerative Design Institute’s Broadacre Permaculture course creates a unique opportunity for farmers, land managers and owners, ranchers, permaculturists, biologists, and policymakers to study with some of the world’s leading experts in innovative land management techniques. These pioneering instructors will weave together the threads of permaculture, soil management, compost building, water conservation, and holistic management into a overview of techniques that can reduce the carbon footprint of agriculture while at the same time increasing yields and improving land quality.

Along with our own Penny Livingston-Stark, and other master instructors, the course series features:

* Darren Doherty, a third generation Australian farmer who has designed more than 1,000 permaculture properties and taught hundreds of classes around the world, many with permaculture founders Bill Mollison and David Holmgren.

* Elaine Ingham, author of The Compost Tea Brewing Manual, and one of the world’s leading soil microbiologists with 30 years of experience researching and teaching.

* Brad Lancaster, author of Rainwater Harvesting for Drylands and Beyond, with more than 15 years as a successful permaculture consultant, designer, and teacher.

* Joel Salatin, featured in Michael Pollan’s book, Omnivore’s Dilemma, a passionate and outspoken voice supporting sustainable agriculture and owner of the successful Polyface farm, one of the most productive and influential alternative farms in America.
