The word ‘permaculture’ comes from ‘permanent agriculture‘ and ‘permanent culture‘ – it is about living lightly on the planet, and making sure that we can sustain human activities for many generations to come, in harmony with nature. Permanence is not about everything staying the same. Its about stability, about deepening soils and cleaner water, thriving communities in self-reliant regions, biodiverse agriculture and social justice, peace and abundance.
To get a fuller understanding of permaculture we decided to show a few films about permaculture.
Bill Mollison’s In Grave Danger of Falling Food- a 51 minute film in which he provides an introduction to the principles and practice of permaculture and how he came to develop permaculture as a positive alternative.
Behind Greening the Desert with Geoff Lawton.
And maybe a few others…..
