About

Utopia Project is a permaculture-inspired, grassroots project based in Eastern Europe – Greece. We utilize collective action from the local level to effect change at the local, regional, national, or international level.

Grassroots projects are associated with bottom-up, rather than top-down decision making, and are sometimes considered more natural or spontaneous than more traditional power structures.

We aim to increase self-sufficiency to reduce the potential effects of peak oil, climate destruction, and economic instability

Using collective action and self-organization, we are encouraging members to contribute by taking responsibility and action.

We attempt to live a more sustainable way using permaculture, taking inspiration from natural ecosystems to “live off the land.” For example, permaculture enthusiasts may grow seasonal organic produce fertilized with manure from livestock raised on their own land, rather than bringing in synthetic fertilizers or annual crop seeds from elsewhere. The idea is to rely as much as possible on perennial crops, to recycle and reuse materials, and reduce waste.
