The Creative Culture Guide

Permaculture is a system and philosophy for designing human systems based on the principle of working with natural systems rather then against them. It aims to create biological and social systems that are structured so that peoples’ basic needs are produced as a by-product of the natural systems with a minimum of labour required. The ethics — “earth care, people care and fair share” — form the foundation for permaculture design and are also found in most traditional societies.
