Permaculture

Design based on understanding how nature works

What is Permaculture

The essence of Permaculture is the creative design of an ecologically sound way of living in our households, gardens, communities and businesses. It is created by cooperating with nature and caring for the earth and its people.

 

It tackles how to grow food, build houses and create communities, and minimise environmental impact at the same time. Its principles are being constantly developed and refined by people throughout the world in very different climates and cultural circumstances.

 

It is a practical method of developing ecologically harmonious, efficient and productive systems that can be used by anyone, anywhere.

 

By thinking about the way we use our resources - food, energy, shelter and other material and non-material needs - it is possible to get much more out of life by using less. We can be more productive for less effort, reaping benefits for our environment and ourselves, for now and for generations to come.

Permaculture is not exclusive - its principles and practice can be used by anyone, anywhere!
