*PERMACULTURE* is a consciously integrated design system based on ecology
and sustainability principles to create resource efficient and productive
human environments and reduce our footprint on the earth. Permaculture
practices apply to both urban and rural environments and adapt to all
climates and cultural contexts.

World-recognized certification course covers everything from food systems,
water harvesting, waste cycling, home design, to climate care, and much more
- and is appropriate for those seeking to apply permaculture practices in
their communities in diverse ways, as well providing a foundation for those
intending to teach permaculture and/or provide professional design and
consulting services.  Permaculturists are at the cutting edge of
sustainability practices, innovation and experimentation in a wide range of
disciplines, fields of work, cultures and climates around the planet.
