What is Permaculture?
Permaculture is an integrated design system which seeks to develop a harmonious interrelationship between humans, plants, animals and the Earth. It is based on a set of ethics and design principles and combines aspects from various disciplines like architecture, ecology, landscaping, agriculture, and biology. The result is a powerful methodology that enables us to create highly abundant, self-sufficient environments that require little maintenance and produce no waste.
