I agree about getting permaculture into schools. I have a couple of
aquaponics specialist friends who are making good ground in this area
in Suzhou.

As for me, I am trying to introduce Introductory courses in Yunnan,
Guizhou and Guanxi, some of the poorest provinces. These areas
suffer terribly from both flood and drought, and even the expats that
are have set up here have little extra cash to invest in training.

Anyway, I am going to try to get some kind of sponsorship from the
likes of Cat, Komatsu and Leica, so we will see how it goes. Even a
training guy just for a day would be a good start.

But who else can I be approaching, there must be other manufacturers
out there that want to gain access to permaculturalists.

Canon
Nikon
Epson

Farm equipment manufacturers?

John Deere
New Holland

Toyota
Subaru
Nissan

Green websites?

Google

Seed companies?

Johnny's Seeds
Rupp Seeds
Mountain Valley Seeds
Fungi Perfecti
Baker Creek Seed Co. (they do a lot with Asian seeds)


Any other suggestions?

Chelsea Green
