Permaculture

What is permaculture?

At its core, permaculture aims to reduce or replace energy-intensive, environmentally damaging industrial technologies in agriculture. This is achieved by leveraging biological resources and designing systems modelled  on natural ecosystems. Monocultures, synthetic chemical fertilisers, and pesticides are avoided in favour of creating long-term stable ecosystems that sustain themselves through closed material cycles.

Beyond farming methods, permaculture embodies a holistic approach that mirrors natural ecosystems to achieve sustainable yields with minimal resources. As such, it shares many principles with Regenerative Agriculture. Permaculture is described in more detail in our blog article.
