Permaculture stands for "permanent" and "culture" or "agriculture". This 
concept was designed by Bill Mollison, who wrotes some books on this topic. 
You can find an usefull definition on the gopher server located on 
sunsite.unc.edu. I enclose a file I get from Lawrence London, 
telling how to access tha archive
