Fresh, Healthy, Organic and Local:
the Art & Practicality of the Foodscape
Permaculture and Agroecology are a sustainable design systems that apply ecological principles that are found in nature to the garden design, allowing humanity to live in harmony with the natural world. While permaculture can be applied to almost any area of living, including local economies, energy systems, water supplies, and housing systems, permaculture has become most well known for its applications in sustainable food production.
Permaculture strives to “work smarter, not harder,” banish waste in all its forms (such as pollution, water waste, and energy waste), and increase natural productivity and efficiency over time through the application of self sustaining design systems that work with nature within its natural limitations. Permaculture is especially useful in a world where there are constrained energy and natural resources.
In permaculture, there is particular emphasis on the use of perennial crops such as fruit trees, nut trees, and shrubs that all function together in a designed system that mimics how plants in a natural ecosystem would function.
