Practical Design For Town & Country in Permanent Agriculture
Permaculture is primarily a consciously designed agricultural system that combines landscape design with perennial plants and animals to make a safe and sustainable resource for town and country. Plants are not only beneficial of themselves, but also modify local climate and many forms of pollution. Permaculture is a dispersed system, available to anybody who can garden. Centred on human settlement or community, it holds the welfare of man and the needs of the people it is intended to serve as the paramount concern. This book instances the ways in which people have evolved new approaches and solutions, most of them needing minimal energy, and all of them producing more calories than they consume.
