Why do we do Permaculture Design?

Permaculture Design is a system set up with the following functions in mind:

• conserve natural resources
• increase our human energy and well-being
• optimise the use of available energy (sun, water, wind)
• make the best use of specific site and climatic conditions
• arrange design elements in the most productive way
• integrate people into a supportive, productive, landscape
• support the development of sustainable and diverse communities

We seek to provide a secure and sustainable place for all the living things on this earth.
