Research Paper – Sowing Seeds Without Soil – Advice for African Permaculturists Wanting to Access Land Without High Capital Costs

Description

A 53 page PDF guide detailing the research process, findings, and advice for African permaculturists wanting to access land without high capital costs. This guide contains stories of permaculture projects and indigenous farmers operating on tribal land, in land trusts, on land from redistribution programmes; as well as challenges especially around gender when accessing land. Focused on SADC for now but with plans to expand into other regions in Africa.

Each section has key insights as well as advice for other permaculturists wanting to pursue these avenues. We encourage others to use this guide as a template from which to base further research in their own regions.
