La Loma Viva is 10 hectares of ancient terraced farm land, located in the province of Granada, Southern Spain. It was an old productive farm which had been abandoned for many years due to drought. It is currently being transformed using Permaculture, a revolutionary approach to sustainable agriculture. Through observation, we try to mimic the workings of nature and through intelligent design, aim to reproduce healthy natural systems. The land, water, plants and energy are managed consciously - with few external inputs and producing minimal waste.
We would also like to create an experiential and educational space for courses, retreats and as a demonstration site.
