    Description

    Volunteer Web Designer/Developer for Permaculture Farm in Brazil

    Eco Caminhos is a permaculture farm in Nova Friburgo, Brazil. We produce much of our own in food, energy, and building materials. We are currently working on incorporating coffee production into our agroforestry systems and building one of the biggest natural buildings in Latin America, the Ecolibrium Space.

    At the farm we follow the permaculture principles and you can learn about and practice bioconstruction (natural building), agroforestry (syntropic farming). In your free time you can share a nice healthy meal, enjoy a campfire, go hiking, refresh in our backyard waterfall or spend quality time with the other volunteers.

    We are looking for an experienced and motivated web designer and developer with experience using Wordpress to help us as well as participate hands-on in natural building and agroforestry to join us as a long-.

    • Improve the visuals
    • Updating pages featuring our work in Natural Building

    B. Design and Develop Website for Ecolibrium

    • 1) Environmental education for children and youth
    • 2) Agroforestry training and business development support for farmers
    • 3) Vocational training for Brazilians interested in permaculture careers
    • 4) Income generation through ecotourism and farm-to-table restaurant
