Firstly, thanks for browsing this site and like to welcome to PERMACULTURE LEARNING CENTRE (PLC).
Permaculture Learning Centre (PLC) is a small piece of land covering about 1 Hectare, located in Chitwan district, central part of Nepal. PLC is a farmer managed farm applying the possible principles of permacutlure and organic agriculture. This farm is already organic certified and in Bio-dynamic conversion stage.
