Patrick Whitefield, author of the Earth Care Manual lets us film his introduction to Permaculture. Patrick talks briefly about the beginnings of Permaculture and looks at why it is now more important than ever to adopt the methods of design.
What is Permaculture?
Permaculture is an innovative framework for creating sustainable ways of living.
It is a practical method of developing ecologically harmonious, efficient and productive systems that can be used by anyone, anywhere.
By thinking carefully about the way we use our resources - food, energy, shelter and other material and non-material needs - it is possible to get much more out of life by using less. We can be more productive for less effort, reaping benefits for our environment and ourselves, for now and for generations to come.
