Organizer
Founded in 2016, the Finnish Permaculture Association promotes a sustainable lifestyle and society based on the permaculture philosophy. Our aim is to apply and develop permaculture specifically for the Finnish context, to provide support and contacts for permaculture projects in cities and rural areas, and to act as an official body for international cooperation in permaculture. The association organises events related to permaculture, provides information and publications and creates links between other like-minded organisations and all people interested in permaculture.
