Pacific Edge Permaculture + Media [AUSTRALIA] Permaculture is a system of applied design for ecologically sustainable and convivial human settlement. The system was devised by scientist Bill Mollison and environmental designer David Holmgren in the late 1970s. Since then, permaculture has diversified and is now used as a comprehensive framework for design and development in a range of areas such as community work, urban agriculture, the design of settlemenqts, overseas development aid, schools, the design of dwellings and their surrounding landscape. The essence of permaculture design is the application of a set of ethics and principles adapted to local conditions.
