Permaculture—Way of the Future

Submitted by on October 25, 2009 – 3:48 pm 2 Comments

“Though the problems of the world are increasingly more complex, the solutions remain embarrassingly simple…” – Bill Mollison, co-founder of the world-wide permaculture movement

Check out this international Permaculture website – I am.  Permaculture is the way of the future.  It’s going to become en vogue over the next few years.  I know thousands already study and practice this way of life, or aspects of it.  I’m sculpting my garden into an edible landscape, and am definitly influenced by my small knowledge of Permaculture.  And I can see that the people who are learning now, will one day lead the rest of us as Permaculture becomes a way of life for the mainstream.

This is the current focus of the Permaculture Institute.

“Today, we focus on offering on-going Permaculture Design Certificate Courses based on the original material developed by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren. In addition we branch out in other important sustainable living skills, such as Topbar Beekeeping, orchard management, water harvesting, watershed restoration and natural building. Our goal is to offer comprehensive programs in each one of these topics, leading to meaningful livelihood and mastery of the subject by our students.”

Here’s a definition of Permaculture:

“Permaculture is a design system based on ethics and principles which can be used to establish, design, manage and improve all efforts made by individuals, households and communities towards a sustainable future.”

I wonder about the Permaculture approach to our (New Zealand) bee issues?

For more info, here’s a site called Permaculture Principles.com and here’s the kiwi Permaculture site.

    But whether a place of residence or business all the other human needs addressed by Permaculture are also present, in support of such shelter.
    estimates that 40% of rivers and streams are unfishable and unswimmable and 50% of lakes and ponds are
    unfishable and unswimmable. It’s a common form of
    hot water heating and general power creation.
