PERMACULTURE a term originated by
Australian ecologist, Bill Mollison, means

and modern knowledge, this design
methodology mimics natural ecosystems
to create site-specific human habitats.
Guided by ethical behavior, Permaculture
is a system for designing productive
landscapes that integrate food production,
energy, shelter and water.
