Permaculture

Permaculture instructor Andrew Millison journeys to the Dakhla Oasis in the Western Desert of Egypt to consult on an ecovillage project that's under development. 

This video explores the permaculture site analysis process and how the mind of the designer perceives and analyzes information in a new location. 

The Eastern Sahara is the second driest location on Earth, and this site has not seen measurable rainfall for 13 years. 

So what does the permaculture design process look like in such a unique and harsh climate?

Eco Tourism

From Siwa to Fayoum, Minya, Dakhla, and Marsa Alam, the beautiful and remote surroundings of Egypt's ecolodges are offering an alternative to the mass tourism market. 

But times are hard for these business owners, whose small enterprises are very vulnerable to the drop in tourism and volatile security situation.

Green Sahara?

The climate of the Sahara was completely different thousands of years ago. 

And we’re not talking about just a few years of extra rain. We’re talking about a climate that was so wet for so long that animals and humans alike made themselves at home in the middle of the Sahara.

Fish Farming

We live at such a time when the threat of global hunger does not manifest itself in any way. 

Africa remains the only continent where news on this topic periodically comes from. 

Ironically, Egypt, most of which is occupied by the lifeless African desert, never gets into the headlines of such news of the mass famine. 

How do they do it? The epic mega-project that will make Egypt the largest fish producer on the continent and enhance food security in the country are featured in this video on the Innovative Techs channel!
