Earth Care
Permaculture is an approach that emphasizes sustainability and systems of regeneration that work in harmony with nature. By observing and mimicking natural ecosystems to design human settlements, agriculture, and landscapes we can make ecologically resilient, efficient, and productive habitats
The 3 Ethics of Permaculture:
Earth Care
Emphasizing sustainable agricultural practices that nurture the land, ensures soil health and biodiversity for future generations. Central to this approach is the principle of regenerating degraded landscapes, promoting ecological balance, and fostering resilient communities through ethical land stewardship.
People Care
A continued focus on building strong, supportive communities where individuals work together to meet their needs sustainably and equitably. It encourages practice such as sharing resources, hourboring inclusivity, and creating spaces for education and skill-sharing.
Fair Share
The share of surplus involves redistributing excess resources to benefit the community and the environment. This principle ensures that any surplus, whether it be food, knowledge, or other resources, is shared to support others and promote sustainability.
How it works
WISE USE OF RESOURCES
Permaculture teaches how to use available resources wisely and creatively. Imagine collecting rainwater to irrigate your garden, or recycling waste materials to build functional structures. Thus, get the most out of natural goods without waste.
MINIMIZING WASTE
Reducing waste is fundamental in permaculture. Turn food waste into compost to nourish the soil, or use old objects for new purposes. Every small gesture helps create a sustainable cycle and reduce environmental impact.
Biodiversity is at the heart of permaculture. Growing a variety of plants and housing different animals creates resilient and productive ecosystems. Planting fruit trees alongside vegetables and flowers attracts beneficial insects and improves soil health
PROMOTING BIODIVERSITY
Permaculture promotes harmonious relationships between people and the environment. Living in harmony with nature, respecting its rhythms and contributing to its well-being creates stronger and more resilient communities. Working with the earth helps us build a more sustainable future
