What is a permaculture garden, and how can you include the principles of permaculture in your landscape? A portmanteau of the words "permanent" and "agriculture," permaculture is a design philosophy and practice that focuses on sustainability and working in harmony with the ecosystem. The idea is to create diverse, productive landscapes and agricultural systems that are as resilient as natural ones. | What is a permaculture garden, and how can you include the principles of permaculture in your landscape?

=====Environmental Anthropology Engaging Permaculture: Moving Theory and Practice Toward Sustainability===== | |||
[https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1556-486X.2008.00007.x by James R. Veteto, Joshua Lockyer 11/11/08 WILEY.Online Library] | |||
Using a variety of theoretical rubrics, recent work in ecological and environmental anthropology has revealed that human–environment interactions within the context of global capitalism are complex and have increasingly unjust and unsustainable outcomes. As globalization proceeds and associated socio-environmental problems become clear, it is important that ecological and environmental anthropologists use empirical research to develop both theoretical and practical approaches to addressing the sustainability challenge. We suggest that an anthropological engagement with permaculture represents an especially timely opportunity for anthropologists to move toward sustainability in ways that complement and enable us to extend our traditional areas of theoretical and practical expertise. Permaculture is a development strategy that has a history of grassroots application, but it has been largely ignored by mainstream development practitioners and anthropologists alike. | |||
