Deanne part 2 Abéné.Deanne shows how quickly crops grow.
The ecological advantages are abundant and proven. One of the best systems to have a fine return on investment. An ecological way to grow food doesn't have to be costly. Permaculture offers you to be independent and self-relying.
Deanne didn't start with permaculture out of ideology but out of necessity to provide food for herself and for the people around her. Permaculture offered her the means for sustainable living as well as an economic way of saving money.

As an introduction, this film shows how NGOs use the Living Classroom series as integral to their training, using pause-points and practical lessons outside to encourage thinking about different ideas and techniques. When the films were piloted with farmers in Swaziland, data was captured on changes in participant knowledge and comprehension.

Without prior knowledge on the topic/film, the knowledge baseline was 24%; after watching the film once without pausing for discussion, this increased to 57%; and when facilitated with pause-points for discussion, this increased to 78%.

Using Living Classroom films as part of facilitated co-learning therefore represented an increase of over 325%.

This film shows how Swazi NGO, Guba has used the Living Classroom, as part of its interactive facilitation.

In this 15 minute film on homestead design, Jacob encourages us to start at the beginning, and to consider the layout of our homesteads - thinking carefully about the resources we have and need, in order to optimise our productive potential with a more integrated design. Key aspects include human needs when thinking about water capture, soil management, nursery placement, livestock protection, as well as pollination, crops and shelter belts.

In this 17 minute film on plant and seed propagation, Tholina shares her lifelong knowledge and skills on how to set up an efficient nursery. She tells us about her techniques for seed selection, storage and propagation. And shows us some tricks on taking vegetative cuttings for vegetables, herbs and other hard wood species, as well as the different soil preparations and watering approaches to be considered – all using what we have available to us.
