Summary:In the town of Noyemberyan, Armenia, an old greenhouse was renovated and transformed into an educational permaculture center. The project aims to teach students and the local community about sustainable agriculture by applying permaculture principles focused on self-sufficiency, soil regeneration, and biodiversity.
The greenhouse operates year-round and serves as a learning laboratory where various vegetables and herbs are grown, including peppers, basil, and eggplants. The soil is enriched with compost and mulch, and practices such as collecting rainwater and composting organic waste are applied. Students conduct experiments, grow crops, and study ecosystem interactions.
The initiative has become a local platform for environmental education, engaging schools, families, and local authorities. Future plans include developing the center into a regional hub, offering seminars for students and farmers, and expanding sustainable practices to other parts of the community. The project highlights the value of hands-on education and local solutions in promoting sustainable land use and food systems.
