[Southern California Permaculture] ReSCOPE - Help Schools in Africa Create Food Forests

[John Calvert]

[ please forward widely ]

Help Create Food Forests at Schools in Africa

/Help sow the seeds for the future we want – support the greening of schools through food forests which are developed in a holistic and participatory way by all the relevant stakeholders./

The *ReSCOPE Programme* is facilitating the creation of climate-smart schools in Malawi, Zambia, Kenya, Zimbabwe, and Uganda.  These projects demonstrate to their communities that abundance and resilience can easily be achieved through creative use of local resources.

We have developed and implemented the Integrated Land Use Design (ILUD) as a tool for school communities to re-design their school environments to better serve their needs with exciting results. We have so far worked with more than 200 schools in 5 countries. In 2009 we hosted the 9th International Permaculture Convergence (IPC9) for the first time in Africa in Malawi.

	
/Learners, parents and teachers come together to develop a landscape that meets their needs at Butale primary school, Masaka, Uganda/
