career switch to botany/permaculture/soil biology late in relatively working life advice.


Hey people!

I’m not sure if this is the right sub for my question. I’m 32 and i have a university degree in software engineering and have worked as a software developer for over 12 years. I live in egypt and I’m currently recovering from a medical issue that has prevented me from working full time for about a year and a half ,I’ve been doing some freelance gigs when i have the chance but I’ve grown sick of what i do and i think it is pointless other than to make money and the market isn’t that great anymore due to AI.

I used to work for an agritech company that works in hydroponics for a while and this got me interested in agriculture and ecology. during my break time i’ve started becoming very interested in permaculture and soil regeneration, I’ve been learning a lot from youtube and the internet about permaculture and desert reforestation. Unfortunately i don’t own any farm land and i live in an apartment so i have no land to try to apply what i’m learning but i have started experimenting with some food waste recycling techniques like different types of composting, bokashi and vermicomposting to try to building soil fertility and biology in potting soil atleast for my house plants. I’m also trying to learn more about traditional organic farming philosophies like KNF JADAM and the soil food web(i know that isn’t scientific but i csn still gain some insight from a practical method that has been used for a while for farming even if i’ll not follow it exactly) , i’ve also been learning about permaculture design from youtube channels like andrew millson and geoff lawton’s channels but have no place to try to apply what i’m learning. I have a pretty big concrete patio and i’m currently trying to merge all of what i’m learning to try to make a small potted vegetable and fruit garden according to the principles and methods i’ve been learning(getting a very slow start).

i would love to switch careers and work in this but i’m not sure where to start. I’m aware of permaculture design courses but due to inflation where i live most of the courses i’ve checked are outrageously expensive when converted to EGP.

I’m open to suggestions on where to start!

Sorry for the very long post.

Thanks.
