Permaculture

Permaculture - what does it mean?

From the conception of „permanent agriculture“, over the years permaculture developed in the sense of a holistic design system for creating harmonic integrations between nature and people for mutual benefit. Permaculture can be defined as design and maintenance of sustainable urban and rural human environments which have the productivity, diversity, stability, and strength of natural ecosystems. Permaculture operates on the ethical core values

Earth care
People care
Fair share (Responsible consumption and growth, share of surplus)

Permaculture principles

Long-term instead of short-term
Diversity instead of uniformity

Diversity of species (multitude of animal and plant species)
Genetic Diversity (various breeds / cultivars for each species)
Ecological diversity (use of existing ecosystems / biotopes)
Cultural diversity (regard of local and regional characteristics, use of available resources)

Sustainable instead of short-term efficiency
Optimisation instead of maximisation
Collaboration instead of competition
