Virtual Lecture on Drones and Aerial Photography Conducted at Pampanga State Agricultural University

Last Friday, we were invited by the Pampanga State Agricultural University (PSAU) to talk about how we used the Ryze Tello drone for our research on permaculture. This was our first time to conduct a lecture on drones virtually. Hopefully this lecture will inspire more students and researchers to use drones for research. 

Watch the complete lecture here. View the presentation slides here.

The complete methodology can be downloaded here for free (Chapter 5, pp. 71-86).

Scientific Poster on Permaculture Network wins Best Poster Award in 9th Annual Conference on Environmental Science


Permaculture has been around for quite some time now but we never really knew how many people are practicing this ecological design approach in the Philippines. We need numbers, we need data. It's important to have a baseline so we can measure how successful permaculture has been from being a fringe movement to one that will impact mainstream consciousness on sustainable and regenerative agriculture and ecosystem restoration. 

We're honored to be voted "Best Poster Presentation" in the recently concluded 9th Annual Conference on Environmental Science. We never really expected to draw such interest from people but it seems that permaculture is finding its place in the conversation of ecological restoration. 

We would like to dedicate this victory to all the permaculture practitioners out there doing their best to make this planet a better place to live in! 

Thank you to the University of the Philippines Los Banos School of Environmental Science and Management, Pampanga State Agricultural University - Formerly PAC, Philippine Environmental Science Association (PESA) for organizing this conference.

You can view the full poster here or on ResearchGate.
