- Together, we have the unique ability to create huge positive global transformation, and inspire more colleges and universities, towns and cities, and all communities to adopt permaculture and sustainable design principles into their Master Planning. A powerful video can sometimes be a catalyst for this kind of big change, and the goal of this entire project is to inspire direct action.
Please help us to make this video "go viral" and thus, furthering the UMass Amherst and global sustainability movement. Consider posting this video link on social media sites (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) and e-mailing it to family, friends and colleagues. bit.ly/Rnx5Ot
If we achieve 10,000 views by September 30, UMass Permaculture and sponsors will donate fruit and nut trees to 4 local schools, which is part of our vision to co-create more edible, ecological, and educational landscapes throughout the community!

This video focuses summarizes Year 1 and Year 2 of the UMass Permaculture Initiative. We successfully designed and installed 2 permaculture-designed ecosystems on the UMass Amherst campus. It was a collaborative effort amongst students, staff, faculty, and local community volunteers. Looking ahead, we are planning to install a new permaculture-designed landscape on the campus each year, which will provide education to students and the campus community plus local, healthy, and sustainably grown produce to the UMass dining commons.
Many years from now, we'll see numerous ecologically designed edible landscapes across the campus. We are still at the beginning stages of implementing our vision for building an environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable campus.
Together, we can literally change the world for the better, by focusing locally right here on the UMass Amherst campus. The idea is to see this spread far and wide to more places - please consider contacting us about starting your own permaculture initiative - we're happy to help! info@UMassPermaculture.com

I am so incredibly proud of all of you! Go UMass! Show the world what we can do!
This is fabulous -- keep up the great work, for the earth and all of us living on it!
Awesome! Every campus should be teaching this.
UMass you are a model for everyone. Nice documentation of the project too. Fabulous,Thank you.
Awesome! Very inspiring and a great example for other campuses everywhere.
Good show Guy's wonderful job.. pass it on.
Inspiring people doing Good Work. Thanks for bringing more hope into the world and everybody's lives, especially at UMass Amherst.
Thank you for doing this at UMass. Nice to see a return to the roots of Mass Aggie. Keep up the great work.
This is so wonderful. Thank you!
This is absolutely the way of the future. Developed areas should be green, and productive, inviting to people, and physically and spiritually nourishing. You all are bringing us back to the Garden of Eden with this work! You make me so proud to be a Umass Amherst alumna!
Great Job!....Every school should do this and every student be required to participate before graduating.
Keep up the good work! This is what we need now
Wow, This is a great Series
Beautifully done video and a wonderful project! Makes me so proud to be a UMass faculty member (retired but still involved). I loved seeing the project recognized by the White House! A well-deserved recognition, cheers!
so inspired....really inspired...
Our future as a culture depends on this type of work and innovation. Thanks for what you guys are doing.

BEST SHARE I'VE EVER MADE
As a UMass grad, great to see what you are doing. BTW, my nephew is running on of the best organic farms in Maine at ararat farms
YAYYY! FOOD NOT LAWNS! this *IS* the way of the Future!
Very very cool :)
some thing that interests me along the permaculture line is the following.--------
Many of our common foods and fruits and nuts are derived from plants that were not originally considered edible; almonds, for instance. Through experimentation and genetic selection, individual plants that were edible were found.
One tree that is very common is the oak tree. The American natives knew how to process acorns to be used as a food item.
I wonder if some research could be done to find oak trees that produced sweet, edible nuts of human consumption. It is a native and common. A great local food source..
I'm not going to lie... i want to go to UMass to be a part of this....Checking out grad programs now...
win win win
How about some more details? I would love a step by step for the entire year or egen farther out than that.
Great job UMASS ! Good to see young minds working towards something good for the planet, a system that will give to the land instead of just taking. I have a question regarding this system. If soil amendments need to be made , at what point do you apply them? Aslo can u sow directly from seed with this system?
this shits been out since the dawn of time, but keep on spreading the word and inspiration!
Great idea, but hopefully your growing Organic, and what about collecting rain water , is that not legal in some states?
THis is the new rock 'n rolll
Where are the links to the actual details of doing permaculture?
A university with videos that don't actually instruct, who woulda thunk it...
why is it that, like keith's top comment here says, academia tries out permaculture then abandons it, or completely ignores it from the start. its because, as great as these guys are, permaculture isn't being taken seriously enough by a lot of permies. its a design system & application that is Very difficult to quantify/measure. & everyone knows yet ignores- no science, no progress, no money. where's the permie initiatives to get horticulturalists,agronomists,botanists,biologists for analyses?!
