Permaculture

Permaculture is a practical concept applicable from the balcony to the farm, from the city to the wilderness. It enables people to establish productive environment providing for food, energy, shelter, material and non-material needs, as well as the social and economic infrastructures that support them.

The concept was first developed by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren in Tasmania in the 1970s, leading to the publication of the book 'Permaculture One'.

Permaculture means thinking carefully about our environment, our resources and how we supply our needs. It aims to create systems hat will sustain not only for the present, but for the future generations.
