Permaculture in Africa

More than 14 million people in the Horn of Africa are in need of international food aid. At the same time, Africa has the agricultural potential not only to feed the continent, but also the world.

Several agricultural methods have been tried in Africa but the prove to be costly to be sustained. Permaculture is a verbal marriage of “permanent” and “agriculture.”
Key features include:Use of compatible perennials;Non-invasive planting techniques;
Emphasis on biodiversity; specifically adaptable to local climate, landscape, and soil conditions; Highly productive output of edibles.

There is nothing technical, intrusive, secretive, or expensive about this form of gardening. All that is required is some botanical knowledge and a mindset that defines a backyard paradise as something other than a carpet of grass.
