Introduction to Permaculture by Andrew MillsonPublication Date: 2017
Permaculture design is a method of landscape planning that can be
applied at scales from the home garden to city block to village to farm. It is an ethically based whole-systems design approach that
uses concepts, principles, and methods derived from ecosystems,
indigenous peoples, and other time-tested practices to create
sustainable human settlements and institutions. Although rooted
in horticulture and agriculture, Permaculture design is
interdisciplinary, touching on a wide range of subjects including
regional planning, ecology, animal husbandry, appropriate
technology, architecture, and international development.
