Permaculture is the growth of agricultural ecosystems in a self-sufficient and sustainable way. This form of agriculture draws inspiration from nature to develop synergetic farming systems based on crop diversity, resilience, natural productivity, and sustainability. Permaculture offers a positive way to create healthy environments for you, your family and community by working with nature rather than against it. It can bring food production back to where we live and its gardening and farming techniques improve soil quality and depth over time ensuring an ongoing supply. Permaculture also looks at the way we design our homes and the places we live to create happier, healthier more sustainable communities.
