Hello,
As a long time lover of the natural world, I have reached a point in which I can aknowledge that in order to preserve that which I value most in this life, I must change the way I live. I am just starting out on my path towards sustainability. The food-body-planet connection has called out to me and I am currently researching the different ways in which I can contribute.

My goals are to take a year off and organic farm throughout the U.S. (through programs like WWOOF) in order to build a connection between myself and the land. Having a degree in biology, but no practical experience, I am taking a horticulture class to help orient me with the plant world. As a part of the class I am required to research careers in the fieldj that interest me. I have decided to research what is involved in teaching permaculture.

I would appreciate any information that you can give me regarding pursuing a job teaching permaculture. If you could answer some of the following questions, it would be most helpful to me.

-What is required to teach permaculture? Are there legal guidelines which must be followed?
-What would you recommend to prepare to become a permaculture teacher?
-What is the salary range that someone could expect to make as a permaculture teacher?
-Do you think that the field is growing?
-In your opinion what are the drawbacks to teaching permaculture?
-What are the benefits?
-Is the permaculture movement as big in America as it is in other parts of the world?

And any other information that you think would be helpful would be most appreciated.

Thank you so much for your time. Although I do not know exactly what road I will be traveling down, I know that I must follow my passions, which include a desire to be in balance with the needs of our ecosystem.
