> A Definition Of Permaculture
> ----------------------------
> Permaculture ("Perma"nent agri"culture" and "Perma"nent "culture") is a
> sustainable design system stressing the harmonious interrelationship of
> humans, plants, animals and the Earth. To paraphrase the founder of
> Permaculture, designer Bill Mollison:
>
> Permaculture principles focus on thoughtful designs for small-
> scale intensive systems which are labour efficient and which
> use biological resources instead of fossil fuels. Designs
> stress ecological connections and closed energy and material
> loops. The core of permaculture is design and the working
> relationships and connections between all things. Each
> component in a system performs multiple functions, and each
> function is supported by many elements. Key to efficient
> design is observation and replication of natural ecosystems,
> where designers maximize diversity with polycultures, stress
> efficient energy planning for houses and settlements, use and
> accelerate natural plant succession and increase the highly
> productive "edge-zones" within the system.
>
> Permaculture designs have been successfully and widely implemented in
> third-world countries, but there is current need to expand these
> principles in temperate climates, and especially urban areas to create
> more enjoyable and sustainable human habitats.
