Normally we think of producing food or biomass with terraculture (growing in earth), but aquaculture (growing in water) can be many times more productive for the same surface area. Therefore knowing how Aquaculture works is important if we want to create super-productive systems.
In this class we explore the basic principles & various good examples of very productive aquaculture (& multifunctional) in different parts of the world.
Also we explore how we can start very small in order to add mini-aquaculture-systems which are very easy to install & maintain, in our surroundings.
Water is another vital element & normally very badly managed in our society, due to our usual ignorance of its importance, characteristics & inter-relationships with other elements.
In this class we learn of harvesting systems for this vital substance, how to re-connect ourselves with the water cycle, the strategies of "slow it, spread it, sink it"
& we see various examples where a good management of water has totally changed the system. Small re-designs can improve the whole environment a great deal, & this is especially true with water re-designs.
"Deserts are the footprint of civilization", & this means that the most important work we have to do now as conscious human beings is to regenerate the soils that have been lost, & those that have been exploited & de-vitalized all over the planet, especially by agricultural activities.
Fertile soils are very important stores of carbon in the earth, & just with regenerating soils we could halt climate change stabilizing the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere.
It is vital for sustainability that we regenerate & improve the fertility of soils also because they are the support of biodiversity, important stores of water & indeed the base of all land-dwelling life & any civilization. There are many techniques we can use, & many very inspiring examples of soils regeneration (& so of entire ecosystems) in the world. In this class we explore several of those.
¿Why are trees so important? If we all plant some 10,0000 trees each we can prevent climate catastrophe, regenerate lost soils, increase biodiversity and preserve vital ecosystems & cycles. Trees are the biggest and oldest living beings on Earth. But around 75% of the ancient forest are vanished for human action.
So it's urgent for us to know and understand trees, how to plant them, how to care for them,how to return them to their most important place in nature.In this class we will learn about tree biology and tree functions as well as their influence in our culture.
We could say that the destructo-culture, based on industrialized agriculture, carries a basic dysfunction, which is to see the soil as an inanimate thing, a resource to be exploited, & even something that can be seen as 'property' of human beings.
This paradigm has to change because it is at the base of great injustices & of the destruction of the most important base for life on Earth.
In this class we meet the soil as a living being, an organism of enormous complexity & importance, studying how it works in detail, from the microscopic to the global level.
To know soil intimately is fundamental for any sustainable design & to have a direct & vital relationship with this great organism helps us re-connect, physically as well as emotionally, with the Planet.
At about the time humankind discovered agriculture, forests covered about 50% of the land area on planet Earth. Now they barely cover some 30%, & falling. This is now the single most urgent physical repairing of the environment we need to engage in, as forests are so vital for every aspect of life on Earth, safeguarding the vital cycles of air, water, earth, stabilizing the local & global climate, creating soil & habitats for a huge number of species, sustaining entire economies & our health.
Forests play a key vital role on many levels as they are so basic & even primal for humans. In this class we get intimately acquainted with Forests, their make-up, how they work & especially we learn how to design Forest Gardens: our future human habitat, if we are to survive & thrive as humans
Biodiversity is the variety of life in all its forms, levels & combinations. To maintain the biodiversity of the Gaian organism is of vital importance because each species represents a node of connexion in the complex web of Life which sustains us. At the moment our industrial & highly consumerist civilization is responsible for the disappearance of some 200 species per day.
These are converted into human biomass on a daily basis, but we're destroying the foundation that support our own survival. So there is a big job to do. In this class we explore some direct ways of increasing biodiversity at a local level, like seed recuperation, habitat protection, & starting to change our diet in a conscious way so that it adapts better to the indigenous ecosystem of our region, instead of trying to adapt nature to our whims.

We celebrate International PermaCulture Day
2014, with a bilingual talk (in English & Spanish)
that takes an integral perspective on this year's topic:
Food Freedom. See www.bit.ly/IPD2014 for program, links & video
of the PDC+++ in Integral Permaculture
see www.PermaCultureScience.com
What is the Integral Model & how does it work? Why is it so significant for this time in history?
In this class we study the integral model in depth & ask why it could be one of the most important maps for directing us in the creation of more sustainable human societies.
Integral theory is an all-inclusive framework that draws on the key insights of the world’s greatest knowledge traditions.
The awareness gained from drawing on all truths and perspectives allows the Integral thinker to bring new depth, clarity and compassion to every level of human endeavor — from unlocking individual potential to finding new approaches to global-scale problems.

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Mangroves – this is probably the best example of an integrated mari-culture. Mangroves are well known for their benefit to an ecosystem. Planted mangroves can improve fishery stocks, sea defence, improve water quality (trap and hold/break down pollutants or toxins flowing in to the area), provide wood for cooking, and ultimately provide ‘land’ if efficient in trapping silt for local people to reclaim and build houses on.
Isle of Man – Marine Reserve designation. As a means of protecting and enhancing fish stocks the Isle of Man thought a marine reserve should be set up. This caused huge concerns to the local fishermen who understood that they would be losing a valued fishing area. A good example of the benefits of an established(20 years old) statutory (no take) marine reserve is seen in New Zealand (Leigh Marine Reserve) However the Manx fishermen could not be convinced of the benefits that this would have on their fishery either in the present or in the future and apposed it vehemently. However they did have an interesting example of a no-take zone just off the shore in the form of navel practice bombing range. It was well know that large catches just outside the bombing range could be had and this was due to the increased fish and crustacean stock within the bombing range itself spilling out to the adjacent areas. However this did not convince them to put another no-take zone in there fishing range. They now have severe issues regarding over fishing in the Irish Sea. New Zealand – green lipped mussels and oyster beds, issues associated with these are hazard for other sea users, large chemical input via feed and disease control, immediate area often devoid of other sea life. Usually sited in sheltered bays and inlets and therefore poor water movement with restricted ‘flushing’ build up of toxic waste including faecal material on sea bed. Unsightly from the land, waste materials (feed bags, old netting etc.)often blown away from the site and snagged on land vegetation.
Mangroves help stabilize soils on tropical coasts. The dense tangle of aerial roots of the red mangrove (left) cushions the impact of waves and protects the shoreline behind the mangroves from the full source of storms.
Black Mangrove roots (in the foreground of the image to lower left, with red mangrove roots behind the trunk of the black mangrove tree) send up pneumatophores to supply the roots with oxygen (necessary in the anoxic soils around the mangroves). These pneumatophores, however, also contribute to holding the soil in place. Thus protected, the beach communities can continue succession. If the mangroves and beach communities are destroyed by a major storm then succession will be reset. The red mangrove seedling, below, if it survives and grows will be a vanguard for the beach community, extending it seaward another 10 meters or so.
