Frequently Asked Questions
What is permaculture, and how is it practiced in the Caribbean?
Permaculture is a design system for sustainable living that integrates land, people, and resources. In the Caribbean, permaculture adapts to tropical climates through practices like agroforestry, water harvesting, composting, and community resilience-building—often rooted in ancestral knowledge and ecological wisdom.
Can I visit these permaculture projects?
Some projects on this list welcome visitors through tours, internships, volunteer programs, or retreats. We recommend visiting each project’s website or contacting them directly to learn about visitation policies, seasonal availability, and how to get involved.
Are there permaculture courses or workshops in the Caribbean?
Yes! Several listed projects offer permaculture design courses (PDCs), workshops, or educational programs. Locations like Jamaica, Trinidad, and Barbados host seasonal and custom learning opportunities—check project websites or our event listings for current offerings.
Do these projects accept international volunteers or interns?
Many of them do. Internships and volunteer programs are often available for individuals interested in hands-on learning in areas like food forests, soil building, and tropical systems. Each site has its own approach, so reach out directly for application details.
