What's Permaculture ? 

  The term Permaculture, meaning "permanent agriculture" was coined in
the 1970's by Australian Bill Mollison 

          ...a design system for sustainable human habitat 
                           Rosemary Metcalf (1999)

 Permaculture is a design system that encompasses both "permanent
agriculture" and "permanent culture." It recognizes, first, that all
living systems are organized around energy flows. It teaches people to
analyze existing energy flows (sun, rain, money, human energy) through
such a system (a garden, a household, a business). Then it teaches them
to position and interconnect all the elements in the system (whether
existing or desired) in beneficial relationship to each other and to
those energy flows. 

    When correctly designed such a system will, like a natural
ecosystem, become
                      increasingly diverse and self-sustaining 
                              �1994 Katherine Wasser
