PERMACULTURE
This forum exists for individuals and groups interested in the study and practice of permaculture.
It will prove to be a useful resource for those who choose to be involved, in depth, with permaculture,
gardening, homesteading and farming as a means of achieving good health, self-sufficiency and independence,
practicing it actively at home and throughout their communities and bioregions.
It will also be a handy tool for consultants, designers, writers and teachers of this discipline which was conceived
and stewarded by Bill Mollison & David Holmgren with further development, expansion and refinement contributed
by thousands more people over the years, from around the world, offering their knowledge, skills and experience.

"Permaculture is a design system which aims to create sustainable
human habitats by following nature's patterns."
Definitions of Permaculture
All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.
Buddha
Fukuoka san's comment in an interview where Fukuoka san, Bill Mollison and Wes Jackson were present:
"The confusion started when humans ate the Fruit of Knowledge. Adam and Eve were thrown away from the Garden of Eden.
The only way to get back is to throw away the knowledge! Just become foolish like a bird or baby."

"What is Commons Thinking?
The Commons are life-sustaining or life-enhancing resources and services that have not
been divided up and assigned a monetary value in the global economy but instead are shared
freely among members of a community or group. They range from the air we breath, pollination
provided by bees, land that provides food for gathering and sharing rather than selling,
to words of comfort given freely and willingly rather than at an hourly rate.
Pitted against the Commons, however, are the forces of Enclosure, which attempt
to appropriate, own and sell resources that were once freely accessible, often breaking
up communities and displacing people in the process. Commons regimes are communities
which resist these forces and meet people's needs primarily or significantly through the
Commons rather than through monetary exchange, existing both in the forests of the Amazon
and in the last remaining tight-knit local communities in cities around the world...
This chapter aims to describe one important skill for rebuilding political, community and
personal resilience."
