Tesfahun Fitamo has the drive and ambition to pioneer permaculture design in his home country of Ethiopia. Recently he attended training in syntropic agroforestry. this mean building forest systems that are highly productive and also copy the patterns of nature.

Healthy soils build healthy plants, and helathy plants are resistant to pest attack.
BRIX Refractometer

Welcome to the soil food web
Dr Elaine Ingrams is a pioneer popularising soil science to growers around the world. Once you have understood and mastered the ideas and techniques she is teaching, you will build very healthy soils successfully.
