What is Permaculture?
Permaculture is using land and resources that benefit both people and the environment. Permaculture systems copy how natural systems work, where nothing goes to waste, and everything works together. Permaculture can be used on small or large farms in cities and rural areas. It includes various disciplines like agriculture, water harvesting, energy, natural building, forestry, animal husbandry, aquaculture, appropriate technology, economics, and community development.
A little more about permaculture...
Permaculture is a holistic design approach that integrates land, resources, people, and the environment in mutually beneficial ways, imitating the no-waste closed-loop systems in natural ecosystems. Permaculture can be applied at any scale (rural or urban) and provides a toolbox of multidisciplinary solutions, including agriculture, water harvesting/hydrology, energy, natural building & forestry, waste management & animal husbandry. The philosophy behind permaculture is working with nature (rather than against it), observing thoughtfully rather than taking action blindly, looking at systems as a whole (rather than asking only for one yield from them); and allowing systems to evolve on their own. Practicing permaculture can help us withdraw from much of the agricultural landscape while still meeting our needs – freeing up land to rehabilitate natural ecosystems.
