PERMACULTURE is a design approach applicable from a balcony to a farm, from the city to the wilderness, enabling us to establish productive environments providing our food, energy, shelter, material and non-material needs, as well as the social and economic infrastructures that support them.
Permaculture is a holistic system of DESIGN, based on direct observation of nature, learning from traditional knowledge, and the findings of modern science. Embodying a philosophy of positive action and grassroots education, Permaculture aims to restructure society by returning control of resources for living: food, water, shelter, and the means of livelihood, to ordinary people in their communities, as the only antidote to centralized power. For 40 years Pc has combined top-down thinking with bottom-up action to make a world of difference in over 100 countries.
Permaculture Design has served the North American permaculture community and readers around the world for over 38 years, originally known as the Permaculture Activist. The magazine receives no public funding and has consistently garnered high regard for dedication to grassroots learning and design intelligence. We report stories from readers, activists, designers, teachers, and community organizers across the continent and around the world to reveal the newest discoveries in ecological systems. We attempt to work at the permaculture edge and to provide information useful to people working on the ground.
