Why bother with Permaculture?
Quite simply, for a permanent culture;
for a society that thrives; for
a civilisation that endures. Its been famously said that a nation can
only live as long as its topsoil yet we as a planet are losing topsoil at
an alarming rate. How long can we hope to live on this planet then?
Permaculture is a complete system that can bring our
agricultural, industrial and economic processes into line with natural
systems that have survived the test of time. We must employ
permaculture if humanity intends to survive this test also. We face the
greatest challenges a conscious species on this planet have ever faced
and we can choose to dig into our toolkit to solve our problems now or
we can wait for them to overwhelm us.
