Permaculture

Permaculture is really quite difficult to define, here is an attempt.
"Permaculture uses systems thinking and design principles to consciously design 'landscapes which mimic the patterns and relationships found in nature, while yielding an abundance of food, fibre and energy for provision of local needs'" (David Holmgren) but one might think it go beyond this definition.

A quick look at the concepts of Permaculture. I try to define what it is, and then get at why Permaculture is important for a world that is facing a rapidly changing climate.

David Holmgren recounts how a chance meeting with Bill Mollison sprouted the idea that became Permaculture. This short film is part of a bigger film Permaculture The Documentary, produced by Dogs Go Woof Productions.
