permaculture

[Michael Pilarski <friendsofthetrees@yahoo.com>]

I just filled out an application from BRCC to host a working group on Earth 
Repair.  Of course I can do more if that is desired.

General description:





*Permaculture is a system of agricultural and social design principles
centered on simulating or directly utilizing the patterns and features
observed in natural ecosystems. The term permaculture (as a systematic
method) was first coined by David Holmgren, then a graduate student, and
his professor, Bill Mollison, in 1978. The word permaculture originally
referred to "permanent agriculture", but was expanded to stand also for
"permanent culture", as it was understood that social aspects were integral
to a truly sustainable
<http://www.permies.com/t/2549/permaculture/sustainable-means-barely-staying-ahead>
system as inspired by Masanobu Fukuoka’s natural farming philosophy
<http://www.permies.com/t/32012/md/breakfast-table-philosophies-yoda-picard>.
It has many branches that include but are not limited to ecological design,
ecological engineering, environmental design, construction and integrated
water
<http://www.permies.com/t/7292/permaculture/replacing-irrigation-permaculture>
resources management that develops sustainable architecture, regenerative
and self-maintained habitat and agricultural systems modeled from natural
ecosystems. Mollison has said: "Permaculture is a philosophy of working
with, rather than against nature; of protracted and thoughtful observation
rather than protracted and thoughtless labor; and of looking at plants and
animals in all their functions, rather than treating any area as a single
product system."*

Three ethics:



*1. Care for the earth: Provision for all life systems to continue and
multiply. This is the first principle, because without a healthy earth,
humans cannot flourish. 2. Care for the people: Provision for people to
access those resources necessary for their existence. 3. Return of surplus:
Reinvesting surpluses back into the system to provide for the first two
ethics. This includes returning waste back into the system to recycle into
usefulness. The third ethic is sometimes referred to as Fair Share to
reflect that each of us should take no more than what we need before we
reinvest the surplus.*

The 12 design principles:























*1. Observe and interact: By taking time to engage with nature we can
design solutions that suit our particular situation. 2. Catch and store
energy: By developing systems that collect resources at peak abundance, we
can use them in times of need. 3. Obtain a yield: Ensure that you are
getting truly useful rewards as part of the work that you are doing. 4.
Apply self-regulation and accept feedback: We need to discourage
inappropriate activity to ensure that systems can continue to function
well. 5. Use and value renewable resources and services: Make the best use
of nature's abundance to reduce our consumptive behavior and dependence on
non-renewable resources. 6. Produce no waste: By valuing and making use of
all the resources that are available to us, nothing goes to waste. 7.
Design from patterns to details: By stepping back, we can observe patterns
in nature and society. These can form the backbone of our designs, with the
details filled in as we go. 8. Integrate rather than segregate: By putting
the right things in the right place, relationships develop between those
things and they work together to support each other. 9. Use small and slow
solutions: Small and slow systems are easier to maintain than big ones,
making better use of local
<http://www.permies.com/t/3679/farm-income/local-vs-organic> resources and
producing more sustainable outcomes. 10. Use and value diversity: Diversity
reduces vulnerability to a variety of threats and takes advantage of the
unique nature of the environment in which it resides. 11. Use edges and
value the marginal: The interface between things is where the most
interesting events take place. These are often the most valuable, diverse
and productive elements in the system. 12. Creatively use and respond to
change: We can have a positive impact on inevitable change by carefully
observing, and then intervening at the right time.*
