What is Permaculture? 

Permaculture is a design science (system) which supplies all our needs and benefits the environment at the same time.  A system of design simulating or utilizing the patterns and features observed in natural ecosystems.  

​

Permaculture Ethics - (a method to gauge our behavior) 

Care of the Earth - this includes all living and non-living things.  Examples: land, water, air

Care of People - to promote health, well-being, and self-reliance of all people and their communities

Return of Surplus- to pass on anything surplus to our needs for the aims above

​

• Grow enough healthy food to feed the world

• Repair devastated lands - Examples regrow deserts and rainforests

• Produce the energy we need

• Create resilient communities and cities
