Premaculture : is a better way of doing agriculture in a food forest or small farm scale. in order to do it correctly we should follow up twelve principles and some ethics   Before of having this presentation  I thought that premaculture was the same thing than agriculture but now I can say the they aren't.  I leaned that there will be a lot of ways to solve a problem we just have to look for the solutions with an opening mind.  Financial  Economic : with this topic I found out that as a commitment makers, we need to have a sustainable project. Because  we cant  build a project based on economic dependency if we are planning to do that it is not going to work. I learned that we should never give anything away for free, that dependency relationships are unhealthy, and we also need to have cultural, technological, emotional and economical self sustainability in our community base project.
