What is
Permaculture?
Permaculture is a conscious integrated design system based on ecology and
sustainability principles, used to create resource efficient and productive human environments, and reduce our
footprint on the earth.
Permaculture provides a framework for consciously designed landscapes that mimic the patterns and relationships found in nature that provide diversity, stability, and resilience. These systems yield an abundance of
shelter,
water,
energy, and food for the provision of
local needs.
Permaculture uses both modern and traditional technologies & pragmatic solutions to meet today's challenges with a positive outlook, focusing on the solution rather than on the problem.
What is a Permaculture Design Certification Course?
Permaculture Design Certification (
PDC) is a world-wide recognized course, training you to become a competent Permaculture designer of sustainable living environments & bountiful food systems.
