PermaVET - EU Project

Last November 30, CEPROF had the great pleasure of hosting the Multiplier Event of the PermaVET - EU Project in Portugal, Espinho!

In this event, where representatives of VET schools and organizations of the municipality and journalists were gathered, the final results of the project were presented!

Moreover, a workshop on how to create a small project and then implement it on a big scale, on a farm, was also organised!

The event was a success and CEPROF strongly believes that participants left the event able to recognise the potential of the permaculture concept in education!

Agroforestry is one of the common permaculture practices that uses the interactive benefits from combining trees and shrubs with crops or livestock. It combines agricultural and forestry technologies to create more diverse, productive, profitable, healthy and sustainable land-use systems. Trees or shrubs are intentionally used within agricultural systems, or non-timber forest products are cultured in forest settings.

Forest gardening/food forests involve systems designed to mimic natural forests. Forest gardens, like other permaculture designs, incorporate processes and relationships that the designers understand to be valuable in natural ecosystems.
