Permaculture Research in the Philippines

This fundraiser is a continuation of our previous crowdfunding campaign, Designing Food Security. To have an idea of what we do, please watch the short documentary film above (the film, directed by Brian Sulicipan, won 2nd place in the DOST Indie-Siyensya Science Film Competition last November).

Permaculture Research PH (PRPH) is an independent research initiative formed in Los Banos, Laguna in 2015. Led by a graduate student from the University of the Philippines Open University, the intention of the group is to spark interest in the scientific study of permaculture design in the country.

We define permaculture as a regenerative design framework based on whole systems thinking, observation of natural patterns, the creative use of multi-functional components, biomimicry, and the application of ecological design principles in, but not limited to, the management of food systems.

To put it simply, permaculture is a design for sustainable living.

The main goal of the group is to study and document permaculture designs all over the Philippines.

In 2019, we will be analyzing data from the 12 permaculture sites we have visited in 2018. We will also be uploading our 16-episode vlog series on permaculture practice in the Philippines from January to February.

The research team is currently composed of four people--a project leader, two research assistants, and a student assistant. We are asking for your support to help fund our team since getting support for this kind of research is very challenging.
