‘Permaculture is a creative design response to a world of declining energy and resource availability.’ - David Holmgren, co-originator of the permaculture concept

The permaculture concept offers a path to a simpler, more sustainable and better-quality life.

The idea of permaculture integrates a great variety of knowledge and provides very practical tools that are useful for/can be applied by everyone and in everyday life. It integrates a way of (systems)thinking and the use of design principles in order to create sustainable systems in a wide range of fields, be it in nature or society.

The Original Definition of Permaculture

‘Permaculture (permanent agriculture) is the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems which have the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems. …
The philosophy behind permaculture is one of working with, rather than against, nature; of protracted and thoughtful observation rather than protracted and thoughtless action; of looking at systems in all their functions, rather than asking only one yield of them; and of allowing systems to demonstrate their own evolutions.’

(Bill Mollison, Originator of the Permaculture Concept)
