We are one of the largest permaculture associations in the German-speaking world and are recognized as a non-profit organization. The purpose of the association is to support the development of sustainable lifestyles. To this end, we organize educational work and network permaculture activists. Since 1983, people have been learning about permaculture with us, can network with each other and work together on a future world. As a result, more and more places are being created where people are working with permaculture - we show you some of these places on our website.
In the last millennium, our focus has been on networking people interested in permaculture and making this topic more visible. Since 2003, we have been offering further training in permaculture design, which enables you to obtain a permaculture diploma from us.
With our association work, we show how you can bring permaculture into your everyday life or profession and thus contribute to social change.
