What is Permaculture?

Permaculture is about creating sustainable human habitats by following nature's patterns. Another way of describing it is a design system to place elements in relation to each other in order to maximise their efficiency in creating a self-sustaining, low input / high output, whole. Whatever definition you prefer (and there are many more!) Permaculture is for everyone wishing to live sustainably and tread more lightly on the Earth.
