Permaculture:

A word coined by Bill Mollison in 1974 and means both permanent agriculture and permanent culture. The techniques were borrowed from tribal, traditional and scientific cultures from around the world. There is now a growing movement and internationally distributed magazines and several books published around the world in over nine languages. The main centers of activity are Australia, USA and UK.

The use of ecology as the basis for designing integrated systems of food production, housing, appropriate technology, and community development. Permaculture is built upon an ethic of caring for the earth and interacting with the environment in mutually beneficial ways.

The design of sustainable human habitats. It is based on the observation of natural systems and uses ecological principles to increase diversity and productivity of local human ecosystems. Permaculture designs incorporate food, energy, and shelter for people and animals while linking the needs and outputs of each element of the system. The result is a dynamic yet stable system that sustains itself.
