About Permaculture

Permaculture is a sustainable design framework which advocates three overarching ethics: Earth care, People Care, and Fair Share (return of surplus to earth and people)​

​

• It comprises 12 design principles – the petals of the so-called ‘permaculture flower’. Combine these to foster responsible cultivation, production and consumption through a whole-systems approach. ​

​

This design framework is being applied in a range of different contexts:​

• To support and inspire more sustainable lifestyles​
• To improve learning and mental health​
• To sanitize consumption​
• To design liveable, humane social systems​
• Educational projects to support sustainability learning and active learning in communities of practice​
