I am very happy to work in my passionate field (permaculture design). My dream is to set up a permaculture demonstration farm and permaculture learning center. Especially I love to work with young people and rural agrarian communities to embrace a regenerative and more sustainable living practice. We must empower youths, installing in them a love for farming and caring nature and environment.
