Transforming Landscapes and Minds: The Permaculture Odyssey of Giuseppe Tallarico and the Urban Permaculture Laboratory

Giuseppe Tallarico: my colleague and friend.

It’s not so often that we ‘just click’ with a working colleague, and when it does, it’s pure gold.

That’s been the case with my association with Giuseppe, who invited me to collaborate with him (and several others) on a challenging project which he had created in response to a proposal from the Jordanian government, to design two Permaculture demonstration projects in the harsh conditions of the Dead Sea Valley, some 400 metres below sea level.

Specifically, the sites were to be focused on providing shining examples for marginal farmers to increase their productivity while nurturing the land into sustainable polycultures able to meet the likelihood of increasing negative impacts of climate change.

Such a project represented not only the necessity of facing some of the hardest environmental conditions (minimal rainfall, extremely high temperatures, soil poverty resulting from those factors), but also of negotiating with very refined diplomatic sensitivity the complexity of cultural and bureaucratic differences of an unfamiliar context.

Only a person with a highly developed character and genial personality could hope to succeed.

All this in addition to the need to knit together a new team of personnel, each skilled from their own extensive experience, but also very individual in that experience and personal development.

In spite of such circumstances, Giuseppe not only succeeded heroically, but in the process nurtured such intimacy between all the parties that friendships developed to ensure professional success, but happily to guarantee ongoing relationships and no doubt growing capacity to implement many fresh projects into the future.

I feel gratefully honored to be part of that team, and to know that I have such a friend with whom I can always depend to be able to express myself in whatever circumstances (personally and vocationally), to share in his extensive professional experience and knowledge, to absolutely trust in the integrity of his word and ability.

That is a treasure.

I first met Giuseppe when he enrolled in a Permaculture Design Course I taught in Altamura (Puglia) during 2015. 

He immediately made an impression and his enthusiasm for the topics covered was unmistakable. 

I was pretty confident that he would do something to make an impact – and he hasn’t disappointed in that regard.
