Finca Encuentro in Berlin: Sustainability & Climate Workshop at the BVNG
Sustainability and permaculture are the foundations of La Finca Encuentro, and we are proud to have brought our knowledge all the way to Berlin. 🌱✨ We were honored to be invited by the National Sustainability Federation (BVNG) to lead a workshop on sustainability, climate change, and permaculture. Throughout the session, we explored how permaculture principles can be a key tool in reducing the risks of an even more severe climate crisis. 🌍 Climate Tipping Points & Permaculture We analyzed today’s environmental challenges and discussed strategies based on permaculture to regenerate ecosystems, strengthen resilience, and promote a more sustainable use of resources. 🧪 Hands-on Workshops: Local Microbiology & Organic Fertilizers We got our hands dirty with practical sessions on reproducing local microbiology – a key technique for improving soil health and naturally strengthening crops. Additionally, we crafted organic fertilizers, sharing simple and eco-friendly methods to reduce reliance on industrial products. 🧘♀️ Social Sustainability & Mindfulness To close the workshop, we focused on social sustainability and personal well-being. Through guided mindfulness exercises, participants learned the importance of staying balanced while working towards a more sustainable world. Our experience in Berlin reinforced our commitment to education and climate action. We will continue to share knowledge and collaborate with communities seeking real solutions for a greener future. 🌿💚 A huge thank you to the BVNG for the invitation and to all the participants for their enthusiasm!
