permaculture
Permaculture is a sustainable design discipline based in Ethics.
Permaculture farms and settlements integrate Nature's patterning systems. Over time they become Ecosystems that feed us.
​
Permaculture has prompted tens of thousands of people from all over the world, with little or no experience in farming, to get involved in growing their own food and caring for Nature like never before. It is a movement that transgresses barriers of culture and race across the planet.
