*Permaculture* (Permanent-Culture): A practical design philosophy intended
to help us live and prosper in an environment, while working with nature in
a positive way, using solutions based on careful observation of natural
ecosystems and common sense. This can include food and energy production,
shelter, resource management, nature conservation and community living.

*Please Read Before Posting:*

It's pretty often that we see questions along the lines of, "I want to do
X--what are the species/structures to get it done?" This isn't a bad
question but there's not enough information to give a decent answer. When
submitting a question, there is some information that ought to be included,
such as:

   - Climate/Latitude/Elevation
   - What's already growing on the land in question
   - Topography--mountain, rolling hills, plains...
   - Water features--average rainfall, streams/ponds, etc.
   - Legal restrictions
   - Solar orientation
   - Soil conditions
   - Site history

This is the kind of stuff a permaculture consultant wants to know before
doing a site visit/design/recommendation. And while no one is going to get
a professional job done over reddit, better questions will lead to better
answers.

*Science and Peer Reviewed Work*

We frequently see requests for peer reviewed sources for Permaculture and
more empirically based references. The best way to find these kinds of
sources is to look in the related and sometimes overlapping fields of
agroforestry and agroecology. Here are some starting points.

Hiya. I'm one of the mods. As a few of you know we've been working for a
while to build up the wiki so that folks can have resources and materials
to self study and get the same knowledge base as a formal PDC.

I've mostly been taking the reading materials from a study group i've been
coordinating and putting them up but i thought it might be interesting to
crowd source this one.

So I'm looking for articles, videos. blog post, podcasts, etc on
Aquaculture. Any medium that can be linked to on the internet is fair game
(no paywalled content please).

Content should be good quality, vetted for accuracy and in-depth. The wiki
is curated and we want to make sure that what's in the PDC section is up to
the educational standard of a top quality PDC.

If this goes well we might try it for some of the other sections.

Add the FAO Fisheries and Aquaculture Small-scale Aquaponic Food
production. Index of PDFs <http://www.fao.org/3/a-i4021e/index.html>

This is a guide written for the UN exploring three detailed build plans for
low cost aquaculture and it discusses plant and fish choices.

I built my aquaponics rig from this basic design and it is one of the most
in depth guides for DWC, NFT and Neutral media, attached to a filtering
fish tank.

This is an overview of a salmon, seaweed, mussel system in Canada.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=zpwzhGATT7s# And I just discovered DMOZ:
https://www.dmoz.org/Science/Agriculture/Aquaculture. So, I'm off to
explore this a bit.

not aquaculture specific but a great resource
