Permaculture Homestead in Sicily, Italy

Details

• 

  Description

  Hi my name is Filip. Im a Permaculture educator, designer and freediving intructor.
  
  Together with my family I'm running the homestead project . Here in South of Sicily. We are cultivating olives, fruit trees and starting a simbyotic, ducks/perennial vegetable garden system.
  And starting to renew the old houses from1880.
  
  I work as a consultant. Designing farms or homestead using permaculture principles. And i love the idea that the future will be a productive, regenerative and clean ecosystem. where people can share experience and use technology in a real efficient way.
  
  Im also very passionate about wild plants foraging. This art caught me in Copenhagen when i started to work with a german biologist learning how to recognizing and identify plants families. I usually go and pick wilds in the morning, and then come back and always find new creative ways to cook or perserve the wonderful harvest.
  
  I have a big addiction towards the sea:) i cant live without exploring seabeds and observing fish. im a Freediving instructor so if you r up for it. And there is place you could join the sundays dive.
  
  Since 2020 i teach courses in Barcelona, about Permaculture, foraging ond Oliveoil making.
