What is Permaculture?
According to Bill Mollison, cofounder and father of the movement,
“Permaculture is the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems which have the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems.”
The concept of permaculture originated sometime in the early 1900’s, by a popular scholar, Franklin Hiram King. King wrote on east asian farming practices as a combination of “permanent” + “agriculture”. He highlighted the unique designs of these cultures’ edible landscapes and food gardens, noting that they improve and support the local ecosystem.
Later developed more in the 1970’s by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren, permaculture became a combination of “permanent” + “culture” to call out its usefulness for designing a strong culture that recognizes indigenous methods of working with land and people.
Today, permaculture is applied to home gardens, farms, business structures, and even city designs.
