Maya Mountain Research Farm http://www.mmrfbz.org/index.html
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...

Note:
Course will be taught in English. Belize, a former British colony, is 
the only English-speaking country in Central America.
