What better way to become more of a danger to the modern realm of earth destruction and technological torment than to team up Permaculture knowledge with Holistic Management training.
Teaming HM with Permaculture has an exceptionally powerful effect on building soils, repairing large landscapes and assisting with an holistic framework of decision making. A perfect tool to add to a PDC making you a true humus-building rebel.

I hear you comrade. ‘I want those acres and to start my food forest and have a permaculture demonstration Eden – but alas, I am a humble renter with big bloody dreams and typically uncreative landlords’.
As us ‘renters’ forlornly scan open fields and acres — seeing real estate listings of eroded soils sitting below beautiful key points — we are designing lush, abundant landscape in our minds and whinging about the price and how we could easily ‘turn this place into a self-sustaining paradise’. Well, at least I am! But, we can get caught in the dream trap — thinking we will start the big permaculture project when we get that dream plot of land. But it is really a void that needs to be filled. When you know how much good you can do you do feel a little crippled by renting a place where you feel you cannot do much. Having this deluded mindset a few years back I set out to figure out what I can do. Hooray!

Rehabilitation, Society — by Bob Nekrasov November 10, 2011
I am constantly befriended by those who are into Permaculture, new or long interested, overwhelmed or intimated; waves of euphoric purpose not knowing where to channel. More and more concepts, ideas whirling into dizzying rejections — and our old comrade, fear.
I continually come across people proclaiming with shrugged shoulders "oh, I don’t know enough". That may be true, but for most these issues become paralysing. On the other end there are those who know too much and are paralysed by syntax and concept correction of the aforementioned delicates.
I will admit that in my emotive and fiery youth I almost collapsed into apathy analysing the complexity of world issues.
My solution? Building soils.
