/"Permanent agriculture" or "permanent culture," a term coined by
Australians David Holmgren and Bill Mollison in the 1970s, describes a
design system for creating human settlements that function in harmony
with nature. Incorporating traditional knowledge, modern science, and
the ecological patterns of the living world, permaculture design is
applicable to farms, gardens, organizations, housing developments, towns
and villages, or city neighborhoods.
