Resumen
Descripción
Himalayan Permaculture Centre (HPC) is a grass-roots NGO registered at national and district level. It has a focus on remote/poor/resource depleted farming communities in Surkhet & Humla districts of Western Nepal, and especially marginalised populations (women & low-caste), using low-tech appropriate technologies to increase domestic farm productivity through reducing costs of labour, money and other external resources while increasing farm diversity, resilience, health, education and livelihoo ds. The program uses models of design that can be replicated elsewhere and to do that locally trains farmer-trainers that can go to other communities to expand/roll out the working ethics, principles and techniques.
