Intro to Permaculture

Permaculture is a form of sustainable and regenerative agriculture which has a focus on the use of perennial edible food plants as the basis for providing a family's food, as an alternative to annual plants that require replanting every year. It is one of the most productive forms of agriculture due to intensive plantings and the use of support plants which provide natural fertilization and improved pollination and higher yields. With a minimal amount of annual maintenance and low or no usage of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, it also is the form of agriculture with the lowest energy inputs and smallest carbon footprint. In the Introduction to Permaculture Course you will learn the Ethics and Principles of Permaculture, the design philosophy and science, and the practical application methods for using permaculture in your own back yard gardens or farms."
