Cabiokid - A Permaculture Learning Site in Nueva Ecija

Cabiokid, the site where many permaculture designers in the Philippines first learned about permaculture design. Most of our respondents for the research took their Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) here. 

It's hard to imagine that this dense patch of land is located right in the middle of hectares and hectares of rice fields. The contrast in the landscape is very striking (see the photo above). You can definitely see how a permaculture design differs from a monocropped farm.  Cabiokid's integrated design features perennial crops, fruit trees, livestock, aquaculture, an organic garden, a bamboo workshop and guest houses made from materials sourced onsite. 

If you want to know what permaculture is all about, this is one of the first places you should visit. It's a great place to learn about organic agriculture, Filipino food, culture, and values, ecology, and the environment. 

Many thanks to Luzviminda Lopez for taking care of us while we were there. The team enjoyed the place, the food, and the company! 

All the best for Cabiokid. We hope to do more research in the future!

Cabiokid will appear in Episode 2 of our PRPH Vlog in 2019.
