WHAT IS PERMACULTURE? IS IT MORE THAN A NEW BUZZWORD?
Sustainable farmers and good gardeners all over the world are no strangers to the principles contained in Permaculture, even if they have never heard the word...
"Permaculture" is a design science began by Australian ecologists Bill Mollison and David Holmgren in the late 1970's, but as a practice it has been around for much longer wherever humans have chosen to live in balance with their environment.
Permaculture, as a design system, is unique in that it identifies and integrates holistically all of the elements that will define sustainability in the years to come. Some of these include the critical issues like energy use and fossil fuel dependence, climate change and changing species in our environment, the re-localization of food and resource production, and the ethics involved in all of these questions... and much more.
