Extractions: (by Dr. Lee Barnes, The Permaculture Connections: Southeastern Permaculture Network News) Permaculture ("Perma"nent agri"culture" and "Perma"nent "culture") is a sustainable design system stressing the harmonious interrelationship of humans, plants, animals and the Earth. To paraphrase the founder of Permaculture, designer Bill Mollison: Permaculture principles focus on thoughtful designs for small- scale intensive systems which are labour efficient and which use biological resources instead of fossil fuels. Designs stress ecological connections and closed energy and material loops. The core of permaculture is design and the working relationships and connections between all things. Each component in a system performs multiple functions, and each function is supported by many elements. Key to efficient design is observation and replication of natural ecosystems, where designers maximize diversity with polycultures, stress efficient energy planning for houses and settlements, use and accelerate natural plant succession and increase the highly productive "edge-zones" within the system. Permaculture designs have been successfully and widely implemented in third-world countries, but there is current need to expand these principles in temperate climates, and especially urban areas to create more enjoyable and sustainable human habitats.

Sego Jackson - Permaculture
permaculture. Sego Jackson is a farmer, permaculture designer, and director of thepermaculture Institute of North America, located in Clinton, Washington.
http://www.context.org/ICLIB/IC08/Jackson.htm

Extractions: ANY HOPE for the emergence of sustainable cultures must be based upon the development of sustainable agricultural systems. No matter how just our relationships with each other, regardless of the quality of our educational experiences, despite our spiritual pursuits and freedoms, the sustainability of our culture is at its root fundamentally dependent on our relationship to the land, and especially on the sustainability of our production of food. One approach to creating a sustainable system of agriculture has been developed by Australian ecologist, Bill Mollison. Influenced by Aboriginal ethics towards the land, painfully aware of the global environmental crisis, and knowledgeable about natural ecologies, Mollison and colleagues began to work out a process by which responsible people could purposefully design their own productive eco- systems in which to live. Mollison termed this process "permanent agriculture" or permaculture. The overall goal of permaculture design is to establish resource and energy conserving (including human energy) landscapes that are agriculturally productive, that take into account and mimic, as much as possible, relationships and processes found in the natural environment, and that approach the diversity, stability and resilience found in natural ecosystems. The underlying philosophy is that we are a part of the natural environment and not separate from it, and that we must work with nature and its processes, rather than against it. To achieve this, Mollison suggests that permaculture needs to be a process "of protracted and thoughtful observation, rather than protracted and thoughtless labor; and of looking at plants and animals in all their functions rather than treating any area as a single product system."
Mollison - Permaculture: Design For Living

Extractions: Bill Mollison is a living legend. He's known as the genius of permaculture, "the David Brower of Australia," or a crusty old curmudgeon, depending on the source. But whether it's glowing admiration or sneering dismissal, reaction to Mollison is invariably strong. He is clearly one of the most interesting specimens of the human species - which he has spent years studying from a naturalist's behavioral perspective. He passed through Seattle recently with a film crew shooting a documentary about the far-flung successes of permaculture, a radically new (or, some have said, radically old) way of gardening, designing, and living sustainably by cooperating with nature. Ironically, we met in a downtown hotel room - filled with traffic noise - as we stalked a definition of permaculture and considered the eeriness of modern life.

Permaculturists and other environmentalists warn of global destruction unless we learn to live with the Earth rather than continuing to prey upon her. Permaculture trusts that the Earth shows us solutions to halt the destruction of the biosphere while sustaining ourselves in wholesome and fulfilling ways. We offer the following services, programs and tools as part of these Permaculture solutions: Elfin Permaculture: lectures, workshops, live and correspondence courses, certificate courses by email, advanced training, consulting and Permaculture design. Elfin Permaculture also collaborates with Permaculture projects in Kenya and South Africa. Most programs we offer are hosted by individuals or groups who invite us to their region to teach. We organize the online course, internships, and advanced apprenticeships only.

Course Description This six part course will guide you through the process of creating a thriving food ecosystem in your backyard. Among other things, you will learn about companion planting, seed saving and how to maintain healthy soil. When you complete the course you will know how to grow fresh, healthy food for you and your family. Why should I create an ecosystem in my backyard? In North America the average distance that food travels to get from where it is grown to where you eat it is 1300 miles. This means that , at best, when you bite into that apple or potato , brussel sprout or corn it is already many days old. Is it still fresh?, hardly. It also means that you and your family are reliant on a national transportation system in order for you to put supper on the table. Think of the difference in freshness and independence you achieve when you can step out your back door and pick dinner.
