How we transformed 7 hectares of white sand into a vibrant center for agroecology in the Brazilian Drylands.

Aquaponics is one of the most sustainable and productive farming systems in the world. It combines Aquaculture and Hydroponics to create more self-sufficient systems that use only a fraction of the water, labor, energy, etc. that other conventional farming methods use. Combining Permaculture Design with Aquaponics creates an even more dynamic, productive & regenerative system.

Climate Change presents humankind with immense challenges, how will we adapt in an abundant & resilient manner? Permaculture offers the solutions for whatever our future holds! I will offer hope & resilience with examples from incredibly productive projects that receive less than 35cm of precipitation!
