People with know how on permaculture

The study group Research is looking for individuals with knowledge of permaculture. The idea is to think about the layout of the site around a earthship with edible and non edible plants in a manner that ensures biodiversity and contributes to a self sustainable life. You also do research on the organization of greywater systems with edible and non edible plants in the spirit of permaculture. Discussion occurs through email and skype with the coordinator of the study group.
