As I Saw Permaculture In The 1970s, It Was A Beneficial Assembly Of Plants And Animals In Relation To Human Settlements, Mostly Aimed Towards Household And Commuity Self-reliance, And Perhaps As A 'commercial Endeavour' Only Arising From A Surplus From That System.

Publishers Description: The word "permaculture" was coined and popularized in the mid 70s by David Holmgren, a young Australian ecologist, and his associate / professor, Bill Mollison. It is a contraction of "permanent agriculture" or "permanent culture." Permaculture is about designing ecological human habitats and food production systems. It is a land use and community building movement which strives for the harmonious integration of human dwellings, microclimate, annual and perennial plants, animals, soils, and water into stable, productive communities. The focus is not on these elements themselves, but rather on the relationships created among them by the way we place them in the landscape. This synergy is further enhanced by mimicking patterns found in nature.
