The Permaculture Design Certificate (PDC) is a 72-hour (2-week) internationally recognized course that teaches the principles of sustainable design in agriculture, building, waste management, community building and energy conservation.

The course fosters foundational habits to establish strong nature connection, observation, community building and ecological design skills. All PDC courses worldwide have the same format to ensure the integrity of the certification process.

The PDC will take place for the first time in Lebanon in 2014, and is organized by SOILS Permaculture Association Lebanon.
