Permaculture Systems

A permaculture system is a unique landscape where all the plants and animals live in balance in a self sustaining ecosystem. It commonly involves developing a garden or farm where the plants and animals are put together in such a way that they support each others growth and development. The garden or farm may very well change over the years, but it always remains productive, requires little input once established, and is environmentally sound.

Permaculture is an ethical approach to providing food and other essentials needed for man's survival.

It embraces three main ethics as follows:

a. "Care of the Earth"

This includes all living things and non living things which together comprise the

environment (ie. Animals, plants, land, water and air).

b. "Care of People"

Permaculture systems should be developed to promote self reliance and community

responsibility.

c. "Give Away Surplus"

Permaculture aims to pass on anything surplus to an individual's needs (eg. labour,information or money) in an attempt to pursue the above aims.

If this interests you we can offer you a course that leads to a Permaculture Design Certifice (PDC). Our tutors recommend Permaculture Systems which is a unique 100hr distance education course. The PDC is issued by Permaculture Institute in the UK.
