The Impact of Permaculture Farming | GIVE Volunteers

Meet the newest piece of GIVE’s mission: permaculture. Through partnership with the community of Nong Bua in Thailand, GIVE volunteers have implemented this sustainable agricultural system. The techniques of this permaculture plot creates an interconnected food system, offering ecological & economic solutions to their community. When our Nong Bua students and volunteers get down in the dirt, they develop passion through connection with nature and self-sufficient food production.
The permaculture project further explained:
Permaculture provides a timely opportunity for farmers in our host communities to regenerate their soil, conserve water resources, minimize land usage and increase crop yield; however, considering the dire consequences of a failed season, many farmers are naturally hesitant to experiment with new techniques. GIVE is absorbing that risk by working alongside students at local schools to create thriving examples of sustainable farming practices, producing a large variety of nutritious fruits, vegetables and livestock on relatively small plots of land.
These projects will not only empower students to provide themselves with nutritious food, but will also educate them on the importance of protecting natural resources while still producing enough food to sustain their families’ diet and income.
