permaculture

[Laura Vargas <laura@somosazucar.org>]

Hi all,

I do agree that indigenous nations have developed permacultural practices
that we whites have just started to understand.

For those interested in documentation developed by indigenous nations, here
is a link [1] of a document created by the Awajún women [2] regarding food
security.

Although the document is in Spanish, it is unique a guide for those looking
to develop food security in the tropics.

Regards and blessings from the Amazon,

Laura Victoria
