The Permaculture Research Foundation Malta is made up of a young dynamic team who strive with the following aims:

* To encourage and reward ‘practical positivism’ through effective design in good land-stewardship
* To establish working solutions on earth-based projects with education on permaculture design and a resource-based economy.
* To provide working models that use the land to harness rainwater, wind and solar energy, while growing nutritious toxin-free food through permaculture design and advocating such models for future developments.
* To establish models that maximise the benefit gained from space and earth while enhancing and embracing nature as its prime example of design and energy provider.
* To use these working models as the basis of study for combating issues of food security and desertification, for achieving cleaner air and restoring biodiversity while educating through hands-on activities of students, teachers and permaculturists.
* To bring together ecological designers and students with interest in green issues and solutions and to share events and projects across Europe and other countries.
* To support future models of applied permaculture design through a growing network of information and eco-communities.
* To support edible landscapes and food forests.
