What is Permaculture?
Permaculture is a sustainable design system that provides for human needs while having positive effects on the surrounding environment.
It is based on the ethics of earth care, people care and fair share, and provides practical solutions to the global crises we are currently facing.
Helder studied and worked with pioneers like Bill Mollison and Geoff Lawton in Turkey, Doug Bullock in the Amazon, Rosemary Morrow in Austria, Graham Bell in Scotland, Darren dougherty, Ernst Gotcsh, Sepp Holzer in Portugal and many others in countries like Haiti, Canada, Egipt, Finland, Peru, always learning and practicing this sustainable design methods.
While living in the city he dedicated 5 years on developing urban permaculture projects and for the last 5 years traveling and developing permaculture institutes around the world.
It all started in 2009 teaching permaculture to students at the agriculture university and since then learning and teaching in many different climates and getting to know the old ways and new ways of sharing information.
He was born in Portugal very connected with the mediterranean landscape, Early on his age it became very logical to become a permaculture teacher, and after completing his studies with Bill Mollison he decided to go and support the implementation of permaculture schools in other climates of the world.
Deeper observer of nature and curious about the sustainable human practices used in diferent climates, he developed the passion to work with indigenous people in the Amazon and in the Andes wille researching about learner based educational tools
Helder is now managing the butterfly sanctuary project.at Atlantis Food Forest Garden in the Island of Tenerife and its the Course Director with the New School Permaculture
In 2013 the New School has been presenting at the IPC International Permaculture congress in Cuba
