At the Polyculture Project our goal is to develop and promote practices that can produce food and other resources for humans while enhancing biodiversity. We experiment with various regenerative/permaculture practices and publish our records with aim to supply solid empirical data for the community.
What are we doing ?
Running trial gardens to test various popular permaculture practices
Publishing our results online, sharing what does and does not work
With the results of our studies we aim to provide information based on empirical data to encourage and guide best practices to landscapers, gardeners, farmers and homesteaders
On the political and economic level data is essential for influencing policy changes that promote regenerative practices
