This course provides a template for planning how to live off-grid. These basic strategies may be applied to any sized land parcel, in any climate, and may be useful for people of any skill level. This course is original, concise, and comprehensive. Based on Permaculture design, this course offers a new perspective on sustainable living. The solutions are simple.
