Welcome to the Wikiversity Department of Permaculture.

The Department of Permaculture is a content development project where participants create, organize, and develop learning resources about permaculture.

   <Permaculture is a design system for creating sustainable human environments.>

Definition

    <Permaculture has been developed by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren in 1974 to develop a sustainable multi-crop agricultural system based on annual trees, bushes, herbs, mushrooms and root systems. It is developed as a response to diminishing resources and pollution.>  
    <Permaculture relies on ecological principles to create sustainable human settlements by integrating design to support the ecological cycle of the present elements, picking eco-friendly principles from traditional knowledge and modern science.  Natural systems is the main concern to build sustainable human environments and socio-economical infrastructure, to step forward to find conscientious solutions to local and global problems.  Personal impressions are important to consider to make the environment appealing to humans, and inducing arts.>
