Permaculture, Food Forestry, Keyline Design and agroforestry principles. A 4 days practical and theoric course to understand how to create a forest following a permaculture based approach. The course will be in Italian. More info below and :

La Permacultura è un sistema di progettazione che mira alla reintegrazione armoniosa e rigenerativa delle attività umane nei territori imitando le sinergie e relazioni benefiche degli ecosistemi naturali.

Le Food Forest e i sistemi agroforestali sono sistemi di coltivazione basati su Policolture in cui più specie cooperano nello stesso terreno aumentandone la fertilità e riducendo sempre più il bisogno di input esterni (come in un bosco naturale).

Il Keyline design è un sistema di progettazione del territorio, in particolare agricolo, che mira soprattutto a gestire l’acqua piovana in modo efficiente, diffonderla in modo uniforme, infiltrarla e usarla per reidratare il territorio, costruire topsoil, lo strato superficiale fertile del suolo, alla base di ecosistemi produttivi e sani.

In 4 giorni di teoria e tanta tanta pratica, approfondiremo tutte queste tematiche e molto altro…

Join Ana Apsara and Lotan Sapir during this interactive webinar as they innovate an online space that enables anyone to go deep within, sense their inner truth and let it out in their unique way.
For this purpose, we call upon meditative, physical, and creative practices to create a varied space that offers each participant ways to sink into their inner landscape. The camera and screen are assigned their specific space as enablers of an interaction that spans the planet – and we use them with the necessary mastery a tool needs to be of service. Thereby, we facilitate a collective process of mindful human interaction to empower us to express our truth more widely and inspire actions in its wake.

Un teatro a strapiombo su un immensa vallata circondata dalle montagne ed alla destra il mare da cui si intravedono le isole. Bambini incantati da clowns, centinaia di persone danzano nella notte, qualcuno rimane attonito a guardare il paesaggio mozzafiato, e migliaia di sorrisi consacrano la magia dell’arte di strada e del circo contemporaneo.
Valdemone festival prende il nome della valle su cui si affaccia Pollina e nella quale scorre il fiume che prende il nome del Paese. Il festival da noi pensato, si fonda sull’idea di creare un evento culturale e alternativo nella realtà artistica e culturale della Sicilia, invadendo le strade e le piazze di uno dei paesi più interessanti delle Madonie creando una vera e propria festa che sia vissuta a tutto tondo sia dal pubblico che dalla stessa gente del paese.

Da oggi fino al 24 settembre si terranno in Sicilia numerosi eventi per la Festa Internazionale delle Seedballs ideate da Masanobu Fukuoka. Gli obiettivi dell’evento sono molteplici, dalla ripiantumazione delle aree verdi colpite da incendi e deforestazione alla diffusione di una cultura ecologica più profonda e consapevole.

La Festa Internazionale delle Seedballs viene organizzata con la collaborazione del Centro di Agricoltura Naturale toccando diverse realtà sparse per la Sicilia, legate alla terra e a modelli naturali di agricoltura, medicina, cultura ed educazione. Sull’isola l’interesse per l’agricoltura naturale è molto grande.

Saranno organizzati laboratori dal 2 al 24 settembre!

Come si crea una food forest?

Facile. Prendi tanti livelli diversi di piante, dalle geofite alle emergenti, disponile secondo l’orografia ed il microclima e assicurati che ti permettano di vivere in collaborazione con l’ecosistema. Ma che vuol dire?!!?

L’agroforestazione e la creazione di food forest (letteralmente foreste commestibili) è un argomento dal sapore ambivalente. Da un lato servono nozioni di ecologia, botanica e geografia fisica abbastanza tecniche, ma facili da ssimilare. Dall’altro il sesto senso e l’intuizione aiutano tantissimo nella creazione di angoli belli, fruttiferi e sani. Si è visto che le piante di un sistema agroforestale crescono incredibilmente vigorose, molto più che in altri sistemi, e creano bellezza, elemento da non sottovalutare.

Perché creare una food forest?
Perché aumenta la biodiversità. Diminuisce l’erosione. Accellera la crescita delle piante. Ripristina il suolo. Crea reti di rapporti umani. E molto altro ancora.

Vuoi conoscere la Permacultura, le Food forest e l’agroforestry?
