The Circle for Human Sustainability

EZ Compost Just Like 1, 2, 3! (12 January 2025)
2025-01-12 10:00 - 12:00 (Asia/Singapore) | Toa Payoh East Community Centre, 160 Lorong 6 Toa Payoh, Classroom #01-01, 319380, Singapore
TCHS President Catherine Loke will be giving a talk on
Biodiversity in a Bucket
The word “biodiversity” typically brings to mind some exotic habitat featured in a documentary narrated by David Attenborough.
Beyond the current attention given to climate change, Catherine will present a holistic view of sustainability and the importance of biodiversity to human health and survival. She will explain how fossil fuels enabled the growth of cities and how urban environments became sanitized and sterilized by necessity, leading to biodiversity loss as more and more land became urbanized or cleared for farmland to supply food to cities.
Catherine will share her insights on how city dwellers can move towards living within planetary boundaries through an understanding of biological systems. She will empower you to make a difference by applying permaculture principles in an urban environment, and demonstrate some practical tips on what you can do to embrace the web of life and complete natural cycles through the simple act of composting.

Testimonials from PDC 2024 graduates
“I had the pleasure of attending the Permaculture Design Course in Kuala Lumpur last year, and it was an incredibly enriching experience. The course was perfectly tailored to the climate of Southeast Asia, which allowed me to directly apply the methods I learned. I found a genuine sense of belonging within the community, which was truly special. The trainers were exceptionally welcoming and humble, making the learning environment very supportive and engaging. I highly recommend this course to anyone interested in permaculture.”
Thomas Charrette
“The PDC was a transformative experience. I initially joined to learn more about sustainable farming, but walked away with a whole new lens through which I view not just food systems, but the entire economic structure we live in. What stood out was how practical and locally relevant the course was for city dwellers. I especially appreciated the hands on experiences and sharing of knowledge by the passionate instructors. I now see permaculture as not just about growing food, but about redesigning how we live, work, and relate to the world around us. This course truly reshaped my worldview.”
Pearl Lim
“This permaculture course was truly eye opening. It deepened my understanding of nature’s cycles and gave me practical tools to design regenerative systems. The hands-on approach, passionate instructors, and supportive community made learning a joy. I look forward to creating positive change in my environment with this new knowledge. Whether you’re a beginner or seeking to expand your knowledge, this course offers wisdom, connection, and inspiration. I recommend it for anyone passionate about earth care.”

About the Trainers
Lead Trainer

Salah Hammad
Salah Hammad’s passion for good food started when he was volunteering to help struggling small farmers in his home countries, Palestine and Jordan. After 10 years working in the food manufacturing industry, he decided to make the transition to a more meaningful life and career in permaculture.
He emigrated to Australia in 2010 and decided that a good start to his new life would be to attend a Permaculture Design Certificate course (PDC) with Geoff Lawton at the Permaculture Research Institute (PRI) of Australia. This led to him staying on at the farm for 4 years during which he was involved in the day-to-day management of the farm, training of volunteers and interns on various systems including vegetable crop gardens and nursery systems, small and grazing animal systems, compost and energy systems, and food forests. He was also pushed by his mentors Geoff and Nadia Lawton to teach in various courses and consult on a number of projects.
Now a PRI registered teacher and a member of the Permaculture Sustainable Consultants team, he divides his time between facilitating Permaculture Design Courses and consulting on different agroecology and permaculture projects throughout the world. He is currently managing the establishment of a new permaculture demonstration site in Malaysia with a team of local and international consultants led by Geoff Lawton.
Co-trainers

Irfan Mohamed
Irfan Mohamed, an acoustic engineer by profession, got his first exposure to permaculture in Australia where he used to help his sister and brother in-law on their veggie patch. He completed his PDC in 2014 and is a member of Urban Hijau’s Exco.
Since co-founding Urban Hijau in 2015, he has participated in their children’s programme, planting, weeding, collecting green waste for composting and just about anything where he can get his hands dirty. He is an avid propagator of natural farming practices and was a catalyst in the setting up of Tirtha Quddus, a permaculture farm in Janda Baik. He co-taught the PDC 2024 at Urban Hijau with Abdul Rahman McCausland. He also recently co-taught Introduction to Permaculture and Agroforestry for Petronas Foundation.

Muneeb Bin Yousuf
Muneeb Bin Yousuf has managed overall farm design, planting cycles and farm operations and has been the site manager at Urban Hijau since 2017.
He is a Certified Permaculture Designer, Permaculture Research Institute of Australia, and started his journey in permaculture in 2011. He gained various experiences related to landscape planning, livestock management and community development, being part of an eco-village development team in north Malaysia.
Joining Murujan as the Programs and Events Director, Trainer and Design Consultant , he has since helped organize various Permaculture Design Certificate Courses around Malaysia and joins in to teach the sessions from time to time.
Formally educated as an Engineer (Mechatronics), he has also done his MBA (Strategic Management) and has worked with various organizations over the years.

Chong Li Yen
Chong Li Yen was one of Urban Hijau’s first farm apprentices, now farm manager overseeing planting and composting systems. While studying and working in USA, she discovered organic farming in 2017 while staying with a farm family in Pennsylvania. It opened her eyes to the wonders of farm-fresh healthy produce.
After a brief stint in the corporate world, she joined Urban Hijau in 2021, and her curiosity toward permaculture led her to complete her PDC with Tom Kendall of PermEco Inc. in August 2021. Since then, Li Yen has had the privilege to design and execute various urban gardening projects, as well as organise workshops and events for all ages.
Li Yen is also a certified trainer (Train The Trainer under the Human Resource Development Corporation, Malaysia).

Alexius Yeo
Alexius Yeo graduated from The National University of Singapore and The University of North Carolina with an Honours degree in Geography. He later went on to attain the Permaculture Design Certificate in 2014 from The Permaculture Research Institute of Australia.
Alexius began his career with NParks as a Streetscape Manager. After gaining 3 fruitful years of experience and amazing memories, he left NParks and Singapore for the Philippines to work with the poor at the country’s first Farm University and Social Enterprise Incubator. There, he quickly fell in love with the joys of farming and landscaping edible gardens that are both beautiful and productive. Returning to Singapore, he worked with local social enterprise, Edible Garden City, to continue to build urban edible landscapes and champion Singapore’s grow-your-own-food movement.
Today, he is the Director of Carbon InQ Pte. Ltd., a local company that teaches agriculture-based experiential learning programmes at schools and corporate firms. He is also the founder of Project 33, a family-initiated farming movement that aims to unite neighbourhoods through community farming, cooking, educational activities and the practice of sharing first.
Traveling down an unusual career path as an urban farmer, Alexius is driven by the mission to help fellow urbanites reconnect with Nature and with one another. He strongly believes that everyone can have green fingers, and that it is never too late, or frivolous, to strive for food quality, purity and self-sufficiency.
