Convertible Community Farm and Training Center
Atlanta, Georgia,
United States
Georgia,
United States
 Convertible Community Farm is designed to be a living training center and the Training Institute is created to serve the training needs of individuals preparing for sustainability-based development projects around the world. The Training Institute will focus on providing training in how to develop affordable alternatives of sustainable, ecologically friendly, and economically attainable communities. Within the Farm and Training Institute, our specific focus will be on construction, agriculture and light husbandry, alternative energy, clean water, transportation, and micro-commerce. The Farm is designed to prototype the Convertible Community concept and serve as a micro-community model. It will be comprised of the members of a development team and their families, but in general it will be made up of individuals who a) are concerned for the practical dimensions of sustainability, b) share a common intention of spiritual, physical, and emotional growth and wellbeing, c) are concerned and committed to focusing on the physical, emotional, and spiritual dimensions of sustainability, and d) are committed to the development of internal commerce that will fund sustainability.
