What Is Permaculture?
"Permaculture (permanent agriculture) is the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems which have the diversity, stability and resilience of natural ecosystems. It is the harmonious integration of landscape and people providing their food, energy, shelter, and other material and non-material needs in a sustainable way." - Bill Mollison (Permaculture: A Designer's Manual)
"Permaculture integrates land, resources, people and the environment through mutually beneficial synergies – imitating the no waste, closed loop systems seen in diverse natural systems. Permaculture studies and applies holistic solutions that are applicable in rural and urban contexts at any scale. It is a multidisciplinary toolbox including agriculture, water harvesting and hydrology, energy, natural building, forestry, waste management, animal systems, aquaculture, appropriate technology, economics and community development." - The Permaculture Institute

In layperson's terms, it means working with nature rather than against her.
We all seem to forget that long before human beings came along, plants, including vegetables, herbs, and flowers, existed. They existed and thrived without chemical intervention. Permaculture is the "how". It is not only a science but also a philosophy and our guide to living our absolute best life.
Can Permaculture Feed the World?
"Absolutely no question about it, the same amount nutrition can be produced on 4-6% of the equivalent area presently used by industrial agriculture globally"
