Permaculture experts from around the world share their thoughts.

Steve Jones

Sector39 from Wales, UK have delivered three full permaculture design courses in Uganda, working with farmers and teachers mainly from the Kamuli region. This vital publication is part of our resource package. Its wonderful illustrations instantly capture the imagination and the amazing breadth of subjects tackled covers a great many essential topics for the tropical permaculture farmer.

Morag Gamble

Having a resources like the Tropical Permaculture Guidebook for my work, for example with a women’s self-help group in Kenya, to be able to share the illustrations, the examples, the experience, the material that has been tested over and over is going to be absolutely invaluable.

Ceres Global

The Tropical Permaculture Guidebook provided the backbone of our recent Permaculture Design Course in Timor-Leste. The book is an essential collection of tropical permaculture principles filled with traditional and modern wisdoms. The importance of this book for anyone practicing permaculture in the tropics can not be overestimated.
