Jajarkot Permaculture Programme

The ancient Greeks well understood the importance of the household in working with nature while developing their economy, in one of the most advanced and harmonious civilizations of post-glacial times.

The local and officially registered name for the JPP is the “Grihasthashram Kendra”, or Centre.

So the JPP sees Permaculture, a design system using the application of principles of ecology for creating sustainable human habitats, as a design system for creating a sustainable Grihasthashram.

Objectives

• To strengthen the local economy through ecological and agricultural security, productivity and diversity, supporting locally produced goods and services.
• To repair damaged lands into productive regions again.
• To protect and improve the natural ecology and resource base of forest, soil and water.
• To intensify production of food and other basic needs in a sustainable manner, as close to the consumer as possible, on the minimum amount of land, with minimum use of external resources.
• Networking to share resources with like-minded organizations and individuals.
• To support human rights for farmers, underprivileged and minority groups.

We are developing a food forest, medicinal herb farm/nursery, and general permaculture living infrastructure in semi-arid countryside at the edge of the Negev desert. Our goal is to develop a fully self-sustaining homestead in which Jewish laws and agricultural traditions form the foundation of modern sustainable living.
We frequently welcome WWOOF volunteers, tourists, and other visitors.

Kibbutz Lotan, Center for Creative Ecology

Kibbutz Lotan’s Center for Creative Ecology is rooted in “Tikkun Olam” -- the Jewish concept for repairing and transforming the world. It began with a small desert organic garden, and expanded to become a unique ecological education center that combines hands-on, experiential environmental education, within the framework of a living community. Utilizing creative recycling and alternative/natural building techniques, the center now includes an ecological theme park, migratory bird reserve, nature trails, recycling center, and constructed wetlands for treating the waste water of the entire kibbutz.

The Center has also created an eco-village within the kibbutz, which serves as the campus for the Green Apprenticeship, an intensive seven week permaculture and eco-village design course, which is offered four times a year. The eco-campus serves as a prototype model for sustainable living that is a learning experience in itself.

The Center for Creative Ecology is an innovator and model in Israel and beyond for promoting ecological building, waste management and environmental education, and also for its work in promoting sustainability through the building of bridges between different ethnic groups in Israel.

Meshek Zuf (Nectar Farm), www.shomera.org/enewshomep.htm
Meshek Zuf , Pardes Hana, Israel
Meshek Zuf (Nectar Farm) is a new permaculture farm being started in Pardes Hana, Israel. Meshek Zuf is half an acre (2 dunams) in a suburban area, sub tropical climate. Its a diverse farm growing vegetable, eggs, medicinal plants, and in few years fruits, and also books... since I started the first (and so far only) permaculture publication, named YA'AR (=forest), all practical human-land info printed on recycled paper (from orange peels and algea). I aim to bring to local non-english-readers practical working tools in hebrew. so far we have 3 books on the shelfs, one of them is the local guide to permaculture that I wrote, named "Paradise at your Front yard", 263 pages. Also at Meshek Zuf I give 4, 72 hr permaculture courses every year. (Talia developed the Shomera project in the Jerusalem Forest) Developments: Soon we will publish a translation of "The Humanure Handbook" by Jenkins, and "Small Steps Towards Abundence" by the local Dr. Elaine Solowey about hard food crops.

Wing of Love
Boaz Miller, Moshav Neta'im, 76870, Israel
An ecological project in a wildlife park that helps disadvantaged young people to gain work skills, an income, and self-esteem through productive labour in a natural setting. Our wildlife park offers a sheltered and safe work place for young people with special needs. We use educational programs to develop good work habits caring for the wildlife and necessary skills (e.g. responsibility, work to time constraint, task completion) so that they can hold down a job when they leave us. We create opportunities for our young people to meet and interact with people without special needs. We also help them to develop business ventures in the park, such as breeding birds and farming organic eggs. Our park has over a hundred species of wildlife and specializes in fowl. We have a successful breeding centre as well. Developments: We are currently working with two groups of young people with special needs - one group of 13 year-olds and another of 18-21 year olds. We are about to open a hostel for "lost" youth, aged 14-16, who have dropped out of state education, and will re-educate to fit into society by teaching them to work in the wildlife park and develop business in the park, so that by the end of their stay with us they will have work experience and be able to go out and find their place in the work market. We are looking for financial support to develop our permaculture and to convert our animal cages into ecological enclosures.
