§ A few words on Porto di Terra

Porto di Terra, Sicily, is a small organization whose mission is experimenting agroecology and permaculture through sustainable community life, non-formal education, small scale food production and eco-tourism.

Each member of Porto di Terra comes from different backgrounds, such as environmental education, research in agroecology, human right protection, permaculture, and arboriculture (currently, we are 6 board members working on the organization). The organization is currently based in a farm we are taking care of.
