PERMACULTURE is a whole-systems method of design that offers ways we can create a more permanent culture by conscious, sustainable use of resources in all aspects of living. It considers the 'big picture' through thoughtful integration of land, water, plants, people, animals, shelter, technologies, and community. In this way, productive, self-sustaining human environments can evolve as they do in nature.
