What is Permaculture?

Permaculture is a holistic approach to land use design, based on ecological
principles and patterns. It aims to create stable, productive systems that
provide for human needs, harmoniously integrating the land with people.
Permaculture principles can be applied to any environment, at any scale -
from dense urban settlements to individual homes, from farms to entire
regions.
