Permaculture (permanent agriculture) is the harmonious integration of landscape and people providing their food, energy, shelter, and other material and non-material needs in a sustainable way. It is also the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems which have the diversity, stability and resilience of natural ecosystems.
One consistent struggle in the community is the role of the sacred (i.e. Mother Earth) and myth. Please consider my recent lament.
