Legend of Badges

Note: The various badges displayed in people profiles are largely honesty-based self-proclamations by the individuals themselves. There are reporting functions users can use if they know of blatant misrepresentation (for both people and projects). Legitimacy, competency and reputation for all people and projects can be evidenced and/or developed through their providing regular updates on permaculture work they’re involved in, before/after photographs, etc. A spirit of objective nurturing of both people and projects through knowledge/encouragement/inspiration/resource sharing is the aim of the Worldwide Permaculture Network.

PRI Teacher

With the exception of the ‘Member’ who has never taken a PDC, all of the above can apply to become a PRI PDC Teacher. PRI PDC Teachers are those who the PRI recognise, through a vetting board, as determined and competent to teach the full 72-hour course as developed by Permaculture founder Bill Mollison – covering all the topics of The Designers’ Manual as well as possible (i.e. not cherry picking only aspects the teacher feels most interested or competent in). Such teachers also commit to focussing on the design science, and not including subjective spiritual/metaphysical elements. The reason these items are not included in the PDC curriculum is because they are “belief” based. Permaculture Design education concerns itself with teaching good design based on strategies and techniques which are scientifically provable.

PRI PDC Teachers may be given teaching and/or consultancy offerings as they become available as the network grows.

Vitamin C booster

Winter greens and citrus combine to a great vitamin c booster in a green smoothie.

A citrus green smoothie: a wonderful vitamin C boost to counter the winter colds…

Winter always brings out the runny noses and colds. Citrus and greens, which are in season in winter, provide a wonderful boost of vitamin C, especially together.

For this smoothie I used Silverbeet, Kale, Comfrey, Herb Robert and Dandelion. The majority was Silverbeet and Kale, the others are herbs, so see which ones you pick and use. In our subtropical climate we have a lot of greens growing in winter, so we can be picky. Chinese greens are also great to use, although a bit stronger tasting than the Kale and Silverbeet.

After filling my Vitamix blender almost to the brim with greens, I squeezed around 5 oranges and 6 or 7 mandarins and filled the spaces with their juice. I blended it on pulse a few times, and the flavour was beautifully sweet and citrussy. Great to have at any time of the day! Enjoy having your greens in great quantities without having to eat a huge big salad bowl!

Evan Young : Vitamins are not well absorbed when eaten in the absence of fat, I would suggest adding cream, or melted butter to this

Zaia Kendall : Hi Evan, In the research I have done it states that vitamins B and C are water soluble and do not need to be taken with any fats. However, vitamins A, D, E and K are fat soluble, and do need to be taken with fats such as cream, milk, butter or coconut oil. Further I would not recommend taking citrus with cream or milk, since the citrus curdles the cream or milk and makes for a very unpleasant tummy!

WPN System Mechanic
WPN System Mechanic : There are basically 4 fat soluble vitamins. I know of no evidence whatsoever that we need animal fat to obtain or to utilize any of these. <br /><br /> 1) Vitamin A: Many foods of plant origin contain beta-carotene, an antioxidant that the body converts to vitamin A. Beta-carotene, or provitamin A, comes from fruits and vegetables. Carrots, pumpkin, winter squash, dark green leafy vegetables and apricots are rich sources of beta-carotene. In the United States, toxic or excess levels of vitamin A are of more concern than deficiencies. <br /><br /> 2) Vitamin D: This really a hormone that we obtain through our skin which makes vitamin D in response to sunlight. <br /><br /> 3) Vitamin E: Good food sources of vitamin E include many vegetable oils. Vitamin E is also found in fruits and vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds. <br /><br /> 4) Vitamin K: Naturally produced by the bacteria in the intestines. Good food sources of vitamin K are green vegetables such as turnip greens, spinach, cauliflower, cabbage and broccoli, and certain vegetables oils including soybean oil, cottonseed oil, canola oil and olive oil. Animal foods, in general, contain limited amounts of vitamin K.
