Permaculture is a design system that seeks to follow nature’s patterns in order to create sustainable
human habitats. The word originally comes from the term “permanent agriculture,” which refers to the idea that agriculture can be sustained indefinitely in a specific location. Today the meaning also includes
“permanent culture” to recognize the social aspect of sustainability.

Today permaculture is primarily a land use and community building movement integrating ecology,
architecture, landscaping, organic gardening, and agro forestry to create a rich and sustainable lifestyle.
Permaculture focuses on the whole rather than on individual elements and on the relationships that evolve among the elements according to the way they are placed in the landscape. The whole becomes greater than the sum of the parts. Permaculture is about carefully observing nature and natural systems,
recognizing universal principles and patterns, and learning to apply them to individual circumstances.
