Permaculture Institute of El Salvador

IPES teaches subsistence farming families to improve their environment and adapt to climate change, supporting their self sufficiency and food security by implementing sustainable agriculture practices. We strengthen community organisation and support ecological community development, training community leaders in permaculture and promoting the active participation of women and young people in the ecological development of their communities. We support the formation of local permaculture networks of communities and organisations as well as supporting the development of local and national strategies for ecologically sustainable development.
