While we are exploring the relationship between technology and modern life and our desire for freedom, there is another group of people who are exploring a differentiation from the existing system in terms of energy, food, and education from the point of view of our lives, and the eco-village is one of these attempts.

An ecovillage is an intentional, traditional or urban community that is consciously designed through locally owned participatory processes in all four dimensions of sustainability (social, culture, ecology and economy) to regenerate social and natural environments.

Our destination Pun Pun organic farm is a small but globally renowned organic farm and ecovillage , seed saving center, and sustainable living and learning center.  They strive to find more ways to live a more self reliant lifestyle by growing organic food, building their own natural homes, and experimenting with low tech appropriate technologies. They seek to bring back the tradition of seed saving amongst farmers and growers by collecting, propagating , and exchanging indigenous and rare varieties. They seek to live simply and continue to learn.
