Sounds good, but what is it?

Permaculture is inspired by natural ecosystems and is intended to increase productivity.

Permaculture background

‘Permaculture’ was described in the seventies by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren at the university of Tasmania. These Australian biologists researched the functioning of ecosystems in the forests of Tasmania. 


Based on the discovered principles, they wanted to see if humans would be able to recreate the ecosystem with the purpose to aid people, but also to benefit nature itself. This research was partially due to today’s agriculture which is encountering and causing problems in the environment. [Source: permacultuurnederland.org]
