Permaculture

“How can we take inspiration from nature to create sustainable land management practices?”

Modern day land management in most of the world is extractive and unsustainable. Whether it’s destroying the water cycle through concretizing cities, extracting too much groundwater from aquifers to grow almonds, or cutting down forests to encourage suburban sprawl, there are so many things wrong. To build a more sustainable system, we can replicate circular processes found in nature to provide humans with the landscapes, food, energy, and other systems we need. Many circles have termed this practice Permaculture, and it holds the potential to reshape how we interact with the wider world.
