00 permaculture
The document outlines 12 design principles of permaculture as described by Holmgren in Permaculture: Principles and Pathways Beyond Sustainability. The principles emphasize observing natural patterns and using them as models, catching and storing energy and resources, and obtaining yields while producing no waste. They promote integrating systems so their parts support each other, using diversity, edges, and adapting to change.

- 2. Permaculture Permaculture is aboutdesigning ecological human habitats and food production systems. It is a land use and community building movement which strives for the harmonious integration of human dwellings, microclimates, annual and perennial plants, animals, soils, and water into stable, productive communities.
