Permaculture - A Sustainable Farming Approach

Permaculture, a combination of permanent and agricultural concepts, is a unique approach to sustainable agriculture, livestock, gardening, and life. Permaculture considers the movement of the natural system important. This knowledge can be applied to designing ecosystems that meet human needs without deteriorating natural habitats. Plants, landscapes, animals, humans and structures are integrated into cooperative systems where one element’s benefits benefit others. Permaculture can be easily maintained with minimal labour, energy and materials once implemented. Recycle waste reduces pollution. It uses useful and highly profitable species that meet human needs. Permaculture is stable and resistant, and because the system is designed to be varied, even if an element fails, the system is still viable.
