Permaculture,

It is a design system that aims to create sustainable human settlements.

Permaculture is about plants, animals, buildings and infrastructure (water, energy, communication) at one level. Permaculture is also concerned with how we place these elements in the landscape and how we can create interrelationships between them.

The aim is to create systems that meet their own needs, do not exploit or pollute the environment, and are therefore sustainable in the long term, ecologically sound and economically viable.
