"BIOS is Greek for LIFE. As human designers we can look to the life
forms in Nature for guidance in creating sustainable systems. Life forms
are by definition sustainable, or they wouldn’t exist.
Permaculture is a way to create healthy communities of people, plants
and animals. Permaculture uses principles of Nature to empower people to
connect to the ecosystem in which they live. It has many disciplines and
skill-sets; Efficient agriculture, agro-forestry, aquaculture, natural
building, solar technology, education, alternative economics, and more."
"Bios Design is a consultancy for creating functioning systems at many
levels: from an edible landscape, to an integrated farm, to a healthy
community.
We utilize permaculture principles that derive from functioning natural
systems, and we address a variety of potential “domains”, including
sustainable agriculture, water catchment, appropriate energy
technologies, ponds, livestock, agro-forestry and alternative economics.
Reviewing the fundamental platform of permaculture will help you to
better understand Bios Design’s mission, process, and practice in
nursery management and design."
