Future Seed is in partnership with Ukuvuna, a world renowned and United Nations recognized NPO that has successfully trained disadvantaged groups across Africa in permaculture training and the establishment of sustainable farms and food gardens. Ukuvuna, utilizing its twenty years of experience, will design and manage Future Seed’s permaculture training programs and certificates.

 

Vision

To be the leading inspiration in transforming communities through sustainable programs and economic empowerment.

 

Mission

To lead by example by building a self-sustaining permaculture working farm that will transfer permaculture (and other business knowledge and skills) to previously disadvantage groups to create entrepreneurship and to uplift local communities in a way that:

• addresses environmental and climate challenges,

• manages biodiversity,

• revives local culture and knowledge,

• encourages community participation in local activities; and,

• adheres to global best practices.

 

Objectives

Future Seed’s primary objectives are to:

• Train and educate learners on how to establish sustainable permaculture gardens (climate-smart agriculture) and businesses within their communities.

• Train and educate leaners to become teachers at the farms and within their own communities.

• Become economic partners with learners to help them organize co-ops.

• Build multiple permaculture demonstration farms across South Africa.

• Create awareness about the benefits and principles of sustainable living and permaculture.
