PERMACULTURE ON THE SMALL FARM -AN INTRODUCTION

PERMACULTURE
What is Permaculture? A contraction of the words "permanent", "agriculture", and "culture". Permaculture examines and follows nature's patterns. It is the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive systems which have the diversity, stability and resilience of natural ecosystems. 

Since the mid-1970's, permaculture has helped land stewards observe, map and optimize human needs and natural flows. Long-time permaculture teacher and practitioner Tom Ward will cover:

• Patterns and principles for ecological design
• Applications and implementations for your small farm
• Management of multiple layers of infrastructure
• Use of the precautionary principle
