Permaculture Design • The Harmonious integration of landscape and people to provide their food, energy, and shelter in a sustainable way.

Permaculture Design • Combines Natural Building, Green Architecture, Renewable Energy, Appropriate Technology,Alternative Currencies, Waste Management, BioRemediation, Water conservation, Edible Forest Gardening, Soil conservation, Organic Agriculture, Community Living, and more into a coherent whole -- a complete system for designing truly sustainable homes, businesses, and communities.

Permaculture Design • The Harmonious integration of landscape and people to provide their food, energy, and shelter in a sustainable way.

Permaculture Design = Regenerative Design Ethics of Permaculture 1. Earth Care 2. People Care 3. Resource Share Developed in 1980’s, over 1,000,000 people certiﬁed, active in 140+ Countries, more than 4,000 projects on the ground
