WHAT IS PERMACULTURE?
Permaculture is a wholistic design system for sustainable human environments that integrates disciplines relating to food, shelter, energy, water, plants, animals, weather, waste management & economics to create systems capable of greater yields than the usual status quo systems. Permaculture ethics are based on Earth Care, People Care & Efficient and Fair use and distribution of the Earth's limited resources.
