Why do a PDC at Friland? 

We are walk-the-talk people in a do-it village. We have taught PDCs at Friland since 2016 and include practical examples of applied permaculture throughout the course. You'll learn about everything from sustainable buildings, regenerative farming, no-dig gardening, fermentation, to sociocracy and holistic management, and much more. You will be better equipped to embrace the future with a positive foodprint! 

Good to know 

Permaculture is undogmatic tools to create a sustainable lifestyle. The course is an internationally standardized course PDC - 70% of the topics are mandatory regardless of where in the world you do the course. The remaining 30% are fit to the geographic location and often with a special focus. The PDC is theoretical, with practical examples. On this course you will learn about Sustainble building, Technology & tools, Education and culture, Health & spiritual wellbeing, Money & economy, Land tenure and stewardship. We visit several homes, buildings, gardens and Myrrhis Agroforestry.
