Beyond Sustainability

The challenge of creating a sustainable relationship between human beings and
the planet we inhabit is one of the most pressing of our age. But is
sustainability enough?

 Pointing beyond sustainability toward the more abundant propositions of
restoration and transformation, the Not A Cornfield art project has both
literally transformed 32-acres of polluted earth into a verdant cornfield and
generated a green vision of future possibility in Los Angeles. Growing in the
midst of LA's Downtown re-vitalization, the project invites us to consider
innovative ways of addressing urban ecology and the integration of fertile
spaces into dense cities.

In this fruitful context Larry Santoyo, one of the United States' leading
permaculture practitioners, discusses the radical Permaculture Design
Movement.
Developed over the last quarter century by renowned Australian ecologists Bill
Mollison and David Holmgren, permaculture is a design system that applies
ecological principles to all of the systems and disciplines that human
settlement requires. Weaving together food, fibre and energy production, water
management and human needs into intricately connected productive communities,
permaculture has evolved from an initial vision of permanent or sustainable
agriculture into one of permanent or sustainable culture.
