A thesis paper on Food Security & Community Development using Permaculture to increase micro climates, health, and rejuvenate the soil
The central idea is as follows...
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for one day. Teach a man to fish and you have fed him for a lifetime."
I am an Eastern Washington University student studying Urban & Regional Planning & Environmental Sustainability as well as Biology. I will be working within a Fair Trade Certified Co-op community in Nicaragua for 10 weeks this summer focusing on Food Security and Community Development. Based upon the hands-on experience of these 2 projects, I will be defending my Thesis upon my return in the Fall:
1) Cheney, WA --> EWU Community Garden & Sustainability Project
2) San Ramon, Matagalpa, Nicaragua --> Food Sovereignty & Community Development Field Study
The final product of my project will be my Graduate Dissertation, strategically and intimately placing these experiences within the Planning perspective and rational framework. Along with what will assuredly be a thought-provoking and revolutionary paper, I can also guarantee some profound photos to illustrate each step along the windy way.
