Last August 25, the UPLB Technology Transfer and Business Development Office (TTBDO) invited Permaculture Research PH to conduct a permaculture seminar for its office staff. The 2-hour event introduced the participants to permaculture ethics, design principles, and local examples while contextualizing it in relation to the current global climate crisis.

TTBDO director, Dr. Emil Cabrera, envisions the permaculture garden to be a source of food and recreation for its staff. The garden will feature a rainwater harvesting system, aquaculture, and vegetable garden beds along with windbreaks along the garden edges. 

This is our second collaboration within the UPLB campus. The first one is the Kids' Garden at the UPLB Organic Agriculture Research, Development, and Extension Center (OARDEC) where we were invited by Dr. Blesilda Calub to design the garden.

Looking forward to more collaborations! The climate crisis is real. We better step up and initiate more positive action in our communities.
