Course Overview: Led by local permaculture experts and world-class design instructors this practical, hands-on course, we will focus on both the design process and the development of detailed infrastructure plans for regenerative farming systems.
Learning from and building on the maturing agroforestry systems of Maya Mountain’s educational facility, design teams will develop design options for hillside farming systems, water and access infrastructure, and soil-generating polycultures.
Details: We will review the basic types of perennial farming systems, including tree cropping, perennial polycultures, silvopasture and other crop-livestock integrated systems, coppice, and support elements from contour hedgerows to green corrals. Perennial crops will be addressed, including an inventory of no-till perennial staple crops of the world. Case studies of working perennial market farms from both cold and tropical climates will provide inspiration, lessons, and models for mimicry.
