Phase 1 Update: Who is Practicing Permaculture?

Who is practicing permaculture in the Philippines? That's our main question for Phase 1 of the research. Online surveys, referrals, Google and Facebook searches, and public database searches have revealed 170 permaculture designers (see graph) in the past 2 months--mostly in Cebu and Metro Manila. Do they really practice permaculture? And if they do, are they having success with their designs? Are they helping the environment? Are they positive influencers in the community? And are they food secure? Those questions are reserved for Phase 2. Our analysis of the Philippine permaculture movement in Phase 1 will reveal where information on permaculture is coming from and who is teaching it. What kind of people are more willing to adapt the practice? Who is willing to make a paradigm shift? And is it possible for permaculture design principles to penetrate mainstream thinking?
