The Skills that Paz Brings to FIG

To teach and train individuals, groups and communities; the ability to live self-sufficiently
To offer consultation in environmental systems and connectivity within the landscape
To assess best practices for water-efficiencythat are also economically viable.
The creative mind of looking at systems in nature and reading the landscapes
Experience in Environmental Design of earth architecture structures
Community-based projects – ranging from children to teens to the elderly.
To build an active professional edible landscape.
Philosphy:
It is vital that there is an awareness to change with the ever increasing demands we place on the planet. We are challenged to respond to the problems collectively. Foresight is an important tool to use to ensure we care for the earth. Together through proper design and planning, the practical solutions needed will be integrated. If we can muster how integral these processes are and adapt ourselves appropriately the fruits will be vigorous. Here, the foundation of Permaculture gives us a framework to holistically assess, read the landscape and create potential resources that once were seen as waste. It’s important to realize that we are interconnected and that everything has a purpose within the web of life. Together lets cultivate a tasteful experience that enhances the flavour and dimension of reality. Lets walk the talk and be active ingredients in self sufficient lifestyles.
