I wonder if anyone has experience in setting up a Permaculture Research Institute. Geoff Lawton says in one of his talks that he likes to set up a property as a research institute, also something about dividing his business into a non-profit, a not-for-profit, gaining advantages in taxes, funding, and probably others which I haven't mentioned. I am intrigued by the idea of setting up a research institute in Senegal where I own a couple of hectares of delicious land next to a mangrove and protected area, which could be an incredible place to teach from my own site!

Any feedback is welcome!
 
Brace yourself while corporate america tries to sell us its things. Some day they will chill and use tiny ads.
