Permaculture is a conscious 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 provides a framework for consciously designed landscapes  
that mimic the patterns and relationships found in nature that provide  
diversity, stability, and resilience. These systems yield an abundance  
of shelter, water, energy, and food for the provision of local needs.
