Permaculture Design Principles for Regenerative Agriculture
Quick fact
Permaculture was coined in the 1970s by Bill Mollison and David Holmgren; its name blends 'permanent agriculture'—but the principles apply to permanent culture as well, emphasizing long-term ecological harmony.
Why this is interesting
Imagine a farm that not only grows food but actually improves the soil, cleans water, and creates habitat for wildlife—without needing constant human intervention. How can design principles borrowed from nature make this possible?
