Finally! Permaculture is now in the National Agenda




Last Thursday, July 2, we were invited to participate in "Stories for a Better Normal: Pandemic and Climate Pathways," a web show hosted by Deputy Speaker Loren Legarda organized in cooperation with the Climate Change Commission Philippines. On the show we shared some of our findings from our study, particularly on mapping of biodiversity in permaculture landscapes. Inputs from researchers, Malvin Biguerras and Erickson Tabayag, were highlighted. We're very grateful that our research will be used for promoting permaculture in the Philippines.

“There’s so much we could do together to help implement existing environmental laws. When we design small or big farms in rural or urban areas, let’s make sure that every local government, people’s organization, and citizen can understand, implement, operationalize, and benefit from permaculture,” said Legarda.

No going back to the ‘old normal,’ says Loren Legarda

"House Bill No. 6864 also calls for the promotion of circular economy to aid in the implementation of Republic Act No. 9003 or the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act, and promotion of permaculture, and implementation of agro-ecology, and resilient and green local food supply system."
