Drought Proof Farms Workshop, May
1-2-3 2009



Directed by Darren Doherty of Australia
Felix Permaculture





According to research of the IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change), because of the phenomenon of the climatic change the effects on the
climate of the Mediterranean zone, will include the progressive increase of
the
temperatures and increasingly prolonged droughts.


This workshop, wants to transmit Darren's extensive experience in areas of
the world where these conditions are more common, to our regional context and
to
provide practical tools of verified efficacy, immediately applicable to real
situations.


This case study has a 18Ha organic farm with a wide water catchment, which in
the last 2 summers has suffered shortages in its water supply sources. We
will
focus on  the potential to capture and store rainwater to ensure supply
during
the driest months, but also on other aspects to consider when designing a
farm
guided by a global approach, such as Permaculture, Keyline Design and
Holistic
Management.





Target public
This workshop is aimed at everyone
Interested in learning how to make the most from rain falling on thies land,
roof, street,  to anyone interested in how to apply Permaculture  Design in a
real case, to PDC graduates as a hands-on design follow up workshop  in order
to
learn how to analyze the landscape and create a holistic goals that guide our
decision-making processes in sustainability issues.
