Independent and neutral vetting

The EuPN is independent of national permaculture associations or entities that issue certificates. Due to our independence we are able to objectively vet teachers, projects and places. 

Our vetting processes are partly or fully software driven - ensuring zero bias and the highest amount of neutrality.

Our data driven vetting processes are transparent and explained in details. Follow the link below the specific vetting process you are interested in to read the details.

If you have questions use our contact form.
