Our Permaculture learning center is located in San Kamphaeng 20 minutes South East of Chiang Mai city.
The academy has the potential to be a model or example – possibly a global model that can be used in other communities and other countries.
Based on a collaborative work using Creative Commons license a pool of knowledgeable, talented and specialist persons are building the project.
After establishing the first model it will be a blue print that can be used every where in the world under every latitude.
