Permaculture:
A partial
definition
Permaculture
is the conscious
design and
maintenance of
agriculturally
productive
ecosystems which
have the diversity,
stability and
resilience of
natural ecosystems.
It is a harmonious
integration of
landscape and people
- providing their
food, energy,
shelter, and other
material and
non-material needs
in a sustainable
way. In this class,
we will cover the
major design
principles of
permaculture and
provide advice on
how to apply these
sustainable
practices to the
home landscape. No
matter if you live
in an urban
apartment, suburban
tract home, or on a
multi-acre ranch,
permaculture will
help you live a more
sustainable
lifestyle.
