Permaculture

Permaculture is a holistic approach to designing sustainable human settlements and agricultural systems that mimic the relationships found in natural ecologies.

Principles of Permaculture

• Observe and interact with nature
• Catch and store energy
• Obtain a yield
• Apply self-regulation and accept feedback
• Use and value renewable resources
• Produce no waste
• Design from patterns to details
• Integrate rather than segregate
• Use small and slow solutions
• Use and value diversity
• Use edges and value the marginal
• Creatively use and respond to change

Applying Permaculture

• Sustainable agriculture and gardening
• Eco-friendly building and architecture
• Community design and development
• Personal lifestyle choices

By adopting permaculture principles, we can create more sustainable and resilient systems that benefit both humans and the environment.
