What is permaculture?

Permaculture is an organic, environmentally friendly and inexpensive form of sustainable land design and food production.

Permaculture creates stable, productive food systems that provide for human needs, harmoniously integrating the land with its inhabitants. The ecological processes of plants, animals, their nutrient cycles, climatic factors and weather cycles are all part of the picture.

Permaculture design is widely practiced in the UK & worldwide, and is revered for its ability to provide community food security and low maintenance food growing systems through careful use of land and resources.

The principles of permaculture can be applied to any environment, at any scale from dense urban settlements to individual homes, from farms to entire regions. Therefore you do not have to have access to land to put permaculture in practice, even a unused school grounds or a back yard can be made abundant!

Training in permaculture with Global Citizen SW gives young people and adults the knowledge and skills, to establish successful food growing areas, working with nature rather than against it.
