Earthseed, in collaboration with the Black Permaculture Network, will use a Pause grant to travel to Barbados and Jamaica to connect with existing partner Green Business Barbados and offer an Introduction to Permaculture and Carbon Farming techniques workshop. The trip will end in Jamaica with a 2-day strategic planning retreat that will inform Earthseed's mission of how to engage the next generation of diverse leaders with resources aimed at transforming their conditions from the ground up.
