of landscape and people providing their food, energy, shelter, and
other material and non-material needs in a sustainable way. It is
also the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally
productive ecosystems which have the diversity, stability and
resilience of natural ecosystems." (from the Permaculture Research
Institute, Australia).
