WHO WE ARE
Plan Africa is a new entity established to represent the dire need for sustainable design and livlihoods for Africa. Our long term goal is food security and strong regional economies on the continent. One of the ways we aim to achieve this is through this website and database detailing organic farming and permaculture projects which is easily accesbile for information or contacts, for people to ask for help, or simply to connect with other like-minded people and organisations. We are also attempting to create a ‘map’ the continents sustainable development and farming projects, in order to create a comprehensive geographical picture of project locations detailing location, aims, objectives, production, methodologies and available resources.
OBJECTIVES
- to asses the current sustainable living situation in Africa
- to create a forum for discussion of issues around sustainable development in Africa
- connect Permaculture practitioners and sustainable farmers throughout Africa
- establish what practicing Permaculturists need in order for them to increase their productivity
- develop a plan for creating food and nutrition security and food sovereignty in Africa
- mobilise funding and resources to meet these aims
