Description:
Permaculture Paradise Institute (PPI) is a local non-profit demonstration and training center that promotes household-level permaculture systems in Malawi, located in Langa village Mchinji district. The PPI provides low-cost social economic and ecologically-sound training to local farmers, entrepreneurs, non-governmental organizations as well as government. In a country where approximately 80% of the population are subsistence farmers, PPI demonstrates how local resources can be used to reverse current predicaments while meeting human needs and improving quality of life, both for people and the environment.
