Rene Michalak explains how we can achieve food security for communities through permaculture design - from rural properties right down to the urban lot.

Design Principles for Resilience
The 12 permaculture design
principles are thinking tools,
that when used together,
allow us to creatively re-design
our environment and our
behaviour in a world of less
energy and resources.

but also share knowledge and techniques between sites for
the advancing of permaculture design systems themselves.
