>Hi All
>
>I am currently away from my home base and have just been asked to give a
>presentation on Permaculture to SEMARNAP (thats the Federal Department
>of the Environment here in Mexico) in a few weeks. I am tied up with
>courses in Yucatan pensinsular, and won't have time to get back to my
>home base where I do have some info.
>
>Apparently they especially want to be see examples/figures etc that show
>how PC has helped improve production yeilds etc. Obviously their
>thinking is a little straight and I will  try to get them to think in
>wider terms than straight production, but I also need to give them some
>definite examples/case studies.
>
>Can anyone help??
>
>Mexico has a wide variety of climates, so most examples will be usefull.
>The presentation cannot be too long, and it needs to be visual. So, I am
>looking for brief descriptions of your project, hopefully some
>documentation of yeilds before and after PC, and maybe a photo (more
>interesteing than just tables of data)of a beautiful PC garden.
>
>SEMARNAP has a special mandate to help the indigenous and poor people,
>and to work with Protected Zones (like Nature Reserves - but people live
>in them - always have), so anything with an emphasis in those directions
>would also be appreciated.
>
>Hope you can spare to time to gather and email some info to me
>(directly). If I can get support from SEMARNAP for Permaculture, we may
>just be able to do something good here - I am not getting too excited -
>Mexican beaurocracy is like all beaurocracies - but I beleive it is
>worth ginving this one our best shot.

>Thanks
