About [Edit]
The International Institute for Ecological Agriculture is dedicated to healing the planet while providing for the human community by education and implementation of socially just, ecological, resource conserving forms of agriculture; the basis of all sustainable societies.
The IIEA was founded in 1993 by Farmer David Blume as a non-profit organization focused on promoting Permaculture and alternative fuels. The people who work at the International Institute for Ecological Agriculture have diverse interests and talents that help this organization thrive. See the staff page for bios and descriptions.
The instructors associated with IIEA and our Permaculture courses and workshops are unique in that they actually DO Permaculture for a living and present at our courses and conferences as a sideline [instead of vice versa, as is usually the case].
The diverse Advisory Board to the International Institute for Ecological Agriculture helps us develop programs to meet the growing needs of our students and our planet!
Projects
Sustainable systems involve numerous components, all of which are essential for continued functionality. At the International Institute for Ecological Agriculture, we work on many levels to bring the earth closer to sustainability.
Below are some of the projects, in addition to our Permaculture courses, that the IIEA is working on/has worked on.
Alcohol Can Be A Gas!
The IIEA is promoting a sane domestic energy policy.
Did you know that your car can run on clean-burning, renewable, domestically produced Ethanol fuel right now, with only a few simple modifications?
Santa Cruz Pesticide Control
Here in Santa Cruz County, the use of toxic, carcenogenic, and hormone-mimicking pesticides is a major environmental and public health issue. IIEA Director David Blume has been called to testify before the county board of supervisors about the hazards of roadside pesticide use.
Our Farm
For 10 years, the IIEA ran a financially successful, permaculturally-designed Community Supported Agriculture [CSA] Farm in Woodside California.
Dennis Kucinich`s Energy Policy Papers
IIEA Director David Blume was honored to help write Democratic Presidential candidate Dennis Kuncinich`s energy policy, basing it on his knowledge and experience with Biofuels.
