With our website up and running again (after some technical difficulties) and a month to go before the start of our 6^th Cincinnati PDC I am polishing up on my education at the Carbon Farming Course with likes of Wes Jackson, Joel Salatin, Dr. Elaine Ingham and Dave Jacke just to name a few.

Darren Doherty, one of the top Keyline Designers/Permaculture Designers in the world reviewing a students farm and offering potential designs

We are learning many tools to assist in the later creation, be it Keyline Farm planning, Holistic Management, the role of Animals in healing the land, or working with Perennial agriculture. These are the practices, combined with many other insights from our crew of teachers and their experience of applying these principles to their varied professions.

I’m sure that these evolutionary discussions will carry into this 6^thPDC to help train the most cutting edge Regenerative designers in whatever field or interest you may have in applying this knowledge. Be it Farming, Urban Planning,

Dr. Wes Jackson teaching about how we got ourselves into the agrarian mess and more importantly this energy mess

Architecture, Landscape architecture, Rural and Urban Homesteading, you name it, the sky is the limit in applying this knowledge in the creation of a regenerative culture. We will show you how to design net yield buildings, yards, farms and communities with the tools you will learn in this course. Some of these tools and methodologies have re-greened deserts, recharged hydrological cycles and created low work agriculture systems modeled after the Garden of Eden.
