The open studies in Permaculture and Regenerative Agriculture - Theory and Practice are addressed to those who wants to live (more) self-sufficiency, wants to make a living by multiform entrepreneurship in the countryside, wants to change focal point to a more multiform agroforestry, wants to practice crop rotation with cultivation, forestry and animal agriculture, or learn more about permaculture and regenerative agriculture. The studies are therefore addressed to those who wants to get an insight to the theories and also wants to practice permaculture and regenerative agriculture.
The studies consists of six cources and goes on for 1,5 years. The studies are realized as virtual studies, with the possibility to networking and dialogue through online-meetings and teamwork.

The students are instead working with individual work for developing, designing and implementing permaculture and regenerative agriculture.
