The study addresses a rather unexplored potential of permaculture, a holistic design system based on sustainable practices, to transform business and management education. It investigates academics’ current levels of knowledge and understanding of permaculture concepts and their willingness to integrate its ethics and design principles into teaching practice. A descriptive survey was conducted among academics in five European countries. Wilcoxon rank-sum tests, Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA, correspondence analysis, and text mining techniques have revealed limited formal knowledge yet strong interest in the integration of permaculture, especially among trained individuals. To address this, a pedagogical intervention is proposed, in the form of a capacity-building programme that fosters permaculture-inspired teaching aligned with key sustainability competencies. | The study addresses a rather unexplored potential of permaculture, a holistic design system based on sustainable practices, to transform business and management education.

As the adverse consequences of the industrial/modern agricultural framework, which encompasses high-input agrarian production and intensive cultivation, are increasing, an alternative is essential. Permaculture is a bunch of sustainable practices that incorporate an assortment of components and promote comprehensive and multi-polycultures including perennial plants, high degrees of biodiversity, crop-animal integration, whole watershed management, and self-sustaining on-site energy production, all of which straightforwardly affect the sustainable approach and promote ecological parameters. | |||
