Philippine Permaculture at Cabiokid Foundation, Cabiao, Nueva Ecija

What is Cabiokid? To most permaculture practitioners in the Philippines, it is an important learning center. It is where I got my permaculture design course under Bert Peeters. Although I encountered permaculture in the U.S. , I chose to register for the class here in the Philippines so that I could see the tropical and local application of the permaculture principles. There are many things to see and learn at Cabiokid. They run about 4 permaculture design course a year. These are week-long classes with ecology lectures and field studies. For those of you interested in joining a permaculture design course, contact them at www.cabiokid.org
