The Women's Federation for World Peace International (WFWPI) is rolling its sleeves for the January 2027 Permaculture Immersion Tour, a six-day program blending education, fieldwork, and cultural exchange with the goals of mainstreaming permaculture education and scaling up regenerative food production systems.
The program will include the 2nd Permaculture Summit on Friday, January 22nd, 2027, hosted by the Municipality of Dumanjug in Cebu. Under the theme, “Women, Peace, and Food Security: Returning to Nature and Building Regenerative and Climate-Resilient Communities Together.” It will connect women leaders, farmers, youth, educators, government officials, universities, environmental advocates, donors, and private-sector partners through education, fieldwork, cultural exchange, policy dialogue, and farm-to-table learning.
The second part of the tour will be in Carmen, Bohol, where participants will engage in activities such as participating in permaculture design, planting crops, visiting permaculture farms with farm-to-table experiences (harvesting and cooking farm-grown fruits and vegetables), meeting with farmers, community leaders, and educators.
WFWPI's goal is to translate permaculture education into practical community action. Participants will engage in urban-garden and farm visits, regenerative design, crop planting, harvesting and cooking, farmer exchanges, and dialogue with local and national leaders. These experiences will strengthen the capacities of farmers and educators while building partnerships for school farmacies, regenerative homesteads, pilot farms, and community-based food-production systems.
It is part of its commitment to localize the UN's Right to Development and Sustainable Development Goals on environmental and climate action and food security.
