Greetings from Italy! (Umbria)

[FedericoItaly]

Hi to everyone!
i'm Federico from Umbria, Italy.
I came here because i'm a Permaculture enthusiast.
i have a little piece of land (about 17,3 acre) and i wish to create a system of total self sustaining for my family (about 8 people)
There's no information about permaculture in Italy (except rare case), i hope to find some here.
well, more information about me...with time they will come out! i will not bore you

i apologize for my english :mrgreen:

see you on discussion board!

WELCOME
I thought all Italians were born Permaculturalits?
They certainly have the most interesting suburban back yards in Sydney!

I've just been listening to Australian/Italian Radio and hoping the language will seep in.
I love listening to it. The 'theatricality' is wonderful.

Just wondering how I can get to this:-

eheheh, i think that Italy has an "agricoltural history" similar to permaculture.
between 1939-1945, during the WW2, Italians meet a period of long Poverty and Hunger, so people who had a land to farm, they applied the pinciples of permaculture because they haven't money to do anything else
Now, unfortunately, the "modern" agriculture ruined the land...sadly....

hi Gemjill.
yes, expecially in Umbria (center of Italy), near Toscana, where Jhon Button Lives, every rural house has a vegetable garden, chestnut,, some people has bees and a little piece of woodland... but every people is strictly oil and chemical addicted.

We would prefer you to post in English
(there is always Google translator)
But would you use an Italian langauge thread if we set one up?
