Permaculture in Fumba Town

A town planned with nature.

Fumba Town is being developed together with permaculture expert Franko Goehse and his Practical Permaculture Institute of Zanzibar. Permaculture is not only taught here, it is lived.

Grown on site

More than 150 tree and plant species.

On the grounds of the permaculture institute, specially trained local staff grow the trees and plants that are later planted in the districts and parks of Fumba Town.

The residents’ organic waste is also composted here and goes back into the town’s gardens as humus.

What is permaculture?

A design system modelled on nature.

Permaculture creates resilient, sustainable settlements and social systems. It thinks in cycles that consider the environment and people alike, and goes beyond agriculture to waste, production and consumption.

The benefits

Good for investors and residents.

Value growth

The sustainable concept makes Fumba Town unique and helps property values rise.

Quality of life

Surroundings that are beautiful and functional at the same time, with shade, gardens and parks.

A healthy environment

Green instead of concrete, short cycles and a harmonious place to live for the whole family.
