Combining the best of natural landscaping and edible gardening, permaculture systems sustain both themselves and their caregivers. The ultimate purpose of permaculture—a word coined in the mid-1970s by two Australians, Bill Mollison and David Holmgren—is to develop a site until it meets all the needs of its inhabitants, from food and shelter to fuel and entertainment. And remember that a permaculture design is never finished because the plants within a site are always changing.

Permaculture is a design system applicable to food production, land use, and community design. History Permaculture originated in the mid 1970s with Australians Dr. Bill Mollison and David Holmgren, whose goal was to create stable agricultural systems. Permaculture was a result of their perception of a rapidly growing use of destructive industrial-agricultural methods. There are now two strands of permaculture: a) Original and b) Design Permaculture.

At this critical time in human civilisation, what are the next steps for permaculture? In 1974, two pioneers, Bill Mollison and David Holmgren , gave birth to permaculture during the heyday of industrial agriculture. Permaculture has been quietly developing at its own pace ever since, like a message in a bottle. If this is true, why has it taken so long for permaculture to become widely practiced? Permaculture was born out of crisis in Australia in the 1970s.

When introducing someone to permaculture for the first time, the inevitable question is, “What’s permaculture?” Permaculture is defined by different people, in different ways. The word Permaculture was coined by Bill Mollison to describe thoughtful and small-scale ecological design process that he co-developed with David Holmgren in Australia during the late 1970’s. The central theme of permaculture is growing food within ecologically sound human habitats.
