permaculture

Perennial and regenerative food production systems have tremendous
potential to help stabilize global climate and provide fair access to food.
These revolutionary techniques and species are unfortunately little known.
Perennialsolutions.org is my effort to present the “fruit” my own and
others’ research and experience. This approach is based in
*permaculture<http://www.perennialsolutions.org/permaculture-design-practice-perennial-organic-gardening-eric-toensmeier-plants-vines-bushes-advice.html>
*, a design system for meeting human needs while improving ecosystem
health.

Permaculture food production and land management systems can:
• build soils and restore degraded lands
• provide essential ecosystem services like habitat and rainwater
infiltration
• stabilize global climate through carbon sequestration
• contribute to a just food system and self-determination for communities.

Perennialsolutions.org is a home for the best resources I have found or
created, from my own original writing and videos, to reports on my
eight-year-old home edible forest garden and edible landscape, to links to
the amazing online books and databases that I use most often.
