"In a sustainable community, resource consumption is balanced by resources assimilated by the ecosystem. The sustainability of a community is largely determined by the web of resources providing its food, fiber, water, and energy needs and by the ability of natural systems to process its wastes. A community is unsustainable if it consumes resources faster than they can be renewed, produces more wastes than natural systems can process or relies upon distant sources for its basic needs."

SASSI Representative Attending International Development & Social Entrepreneurship Permaculture Course

International Development & Social Entrepreneurship Permaculture Course at home at Quail Springs

Permaculture is an integrated design system that provides a framework for consciously designed landscapes that provide diversity, stability, and resilience for individuals and communities. Permaculture is in 160 countries with many thousands of grassroots projects on-the-ground. This course will assist individuals and organization with integrating the following topics into your development projects:

  • Increased Food Security
  • Community-Based Development
  • Waste Cycling
  • Sustainability Education
  • Clean Water and Drought Proofing
  • Health and Nutrition
  • Sustainable Vocations & Enterprise

We’re pleased that Warren Brush will be teaching with us back home at Quail Springs in Southern California, coming up June 24 - July 7, for our annual Permaculture Design Course for International Development & Social Entrepreneurship.
There are so many opportunities right now in the conscious redesign of our human living systems so that they harmonize with nature. The future is bright for ecoprenuers who can see and creatively meet the converging patterns in restoring and making vibrant our bio-regional natural and social capital that has been so heavily denuded by a globalized system of irresponsible commerce. It is my hope and life’s work to support individuals in stepping into their inherent gifts and to become a part of the (r)evolution that is essential for us to support the health and well being of all future generations through living life now in a sustainable and equitable manner."
Warren Brush
