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. The non-profit organization is also linked to national and regional rural development networks, such as: WWOOF, permaculture regional network, the network of schools of the mountain area where it is settled, the local development group network. 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.
