Sorry I did not mean to cut the definition. See full definition below.
Not sure where I got it from.
I collect definitions of permaculture.

Bill Mollison & Scott Pittman, La Tierra Community CA PDC flyer
Permaculture (Permanent Agriculture) is the conscious design and
maintenance of cultivated ecosystems which have the diversity, stability &
resilience of natural ecosystems. It is the harmonious integration of
landscape, people & appropriate technologies, providing good, shelter, energy
& other needs in a sustainable way. Permaculture is a philosophy and an
approach to land use which works with natural rhythms & patterns, weaving
together the elements of microclimate, annual & perennial plants, animals,
water & soil management, & human needs into intricately connected &
productive communities.
