Were you ever wandering, how the world of the future could look like? Apart from science-fiction books, movies, comix, you can also take a look at permaculture. The name means PERMAnent agriCULTURE and in practice it stands for a way of designing human surrounding (housing and food production) in the way that would mimic nature's ecosystems. The idea is one of the methids of adaptation to climate change phenomenons, but first of all the aim is to bring people closer to the nature.
Participants of the „Youth facing global challenges” seminar got a great opportunity to learn even more details thanks to the guest lecturer, Bruno from Croatia. He not only told us about permaculture and eco-villiges, but is himslef a co-funder of one.
The lecture and the discussion evolved around the topic of greening the desert programes, houses made of waste, modern design, that would mimic organic tissue. All that caused thrilling inspiration for many of the listeners. It was followed by specific examples of eco village communities, with detailed presentation of the eco-farm in Vukomeric, which our lecturer came from.
Is that one of possible ways for the developement of GAIA... you will learn in upcoming posts.
