What is permaculture?Permanent agriculture
Ecologically sound &
Economically viable
Provide for their own needsSustainable in the
long term
Do not exploit or pollute

Permaculture Ethics
• Care of the Earth• Care of the people• Share of surplus
Moral beliefs and actions in relation to
survival on our planet.
![Page 6: Intro to Permaculture Gold Coast Permaculture](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061615/58f9af79760da3da068bad83/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Care of the earthCare of all living & non living things:
• Soils & Athmosphere• Species and their varieties• Water, Forests & Animals
Active conservationEthical use of resourcesWorking for useful & beneficial systems
![Page 7: Intro to Permaculture Gold Coast Permaculture](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061615/58f9af79760da3da068bad83/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Care of peopleBasic needs for:• Food• Shelter• Education• Satisfaying
employment• Convivial human
contact

Fair ShareContribution of surplus:1. Time2. Money3. Energy to achieve the aims of earth and people care.

1. Relative Location“We must put it in the right place”
Chicken Pen close house & garden
Wind break – Stop wind but not sunWorm farm close to kitchen
Gravity for
natural water flow
![Page 11: Intro to Permaculture Gold Coast Permaculture](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061615/58f9af79760da3da068bad83/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
1. Relative LocationWorking relationships between each element
• Inputs needed by one are supplied by other• Outputs needed by one are used by other
![Page 12: Intro to Permaculture Gold Coast Permaculture](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061615/58f9af79760da3da068bad83/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
2. Multiple FunctionsEach element in the system should be chosen and placed so it performs as many functions.
Pond in the backyard
Habitat for birds
![Page 13: Intro to Permaculture Gold Coast Permaculture](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061615/58f9af79760da3da068bad83/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
2. Multiple Functions
Water plants used as fertilizers
![Page 14: Intro to Permaculture Gold Coast Permaculture](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061615/58f9af79760da3da068bad83/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
3. Multiple ElementsBasic needs such as:• Water & Food• Energy & Fire
protectionShould be served in two or more ways
Dam near house in case of fire
Moringa as a perennial food tree
Water harvesting from roof into water tanks
![Page 15: Intro to Permaculture Gold Coast Permaculture](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061615/58f9af79760da3da068bad83/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
4. Efficient Energy Planning
Zone PlanningPlacing elements according to how much we use them or how often we need to service them.
![Page 16: Intro to Permaculture Gold Coast Permaculture](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061615/58f9af79760da3da068bad83/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
4. Efficient Energy Planning
Sector PlanningUnderstanding the direction from which:sun, wind, fire and flood come helps in the placement of structures and vegetation.
![Page 17: Intro to Permaculture Gold Coast Permaculture](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061615/58f9af79760da3da068bad83/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
4. Efficient Energy Planning
Slope Observe relative elevations to decide on the placements of: • Dams &
water tanks • Drains,
flood & flow diversions
• Place wastewater
![Page 18: Intro to Permaculture Gold Coast Permaculture](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061615/58f9af79760da3da068bad83/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
5. Using Biological ResorcesPlants and animals do the work for us!
Animal Tractors
Umbelliferous &
Composite Plants
Natural fertilizers: Comfrey & Leguminous
![Page 19: Intro to Permaculture Gold Coast Permaculture](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061615/58f9af79760da3da068bad83/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
6. Energy CyclingCatch, store and use!
Composting kitchen wastes
Thermal mass Strawbale
&Superadobe
Natural BuildingLeaves raked for mulch
![Page 20: Intro to Permaculture Gold Coast Permaculture](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061615/58f9af79760da3da068bad83/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
7. Small-Scale Intensive SystemFully develop the nucleus before going on!
Time stacking
![Page 21: Intro to Permaculture Gold Coast Permaculture](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061615/58f9af79760da3da068bad83/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
8. Accelerating Succession and Evolution
Raise organic levels artificially
Plants that will easily survive
Using what is already growing
![Page 22: Intro to Permaculture Gold Coast Permaculture](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061615/58f9af79760da3da068bad83/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
9. DiversityFunctional connections between elements
![Page 23: Intro to Permaculture Gold Coast Permaculture](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061615/58f9af79760da3da068bad83/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
9. DiversityGuilds - Placement of species which benefit each other
![Page 24: Intro to Permaculture Gold Coast Permaculture](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061615/58f9af79760da3da068bad83/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
10. Edge EffectsProductivity increases at the boundary between two ecologies. Resources from both systems can be used.
Herb Spiral increase edge and micro climate
Keyhole & Mandala Gardens
![Page 25: Intro to Permaculture Gold Coast Permaculture](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061615/58f9af79760da3da068bad83/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
11. Attitudinal Principles
“You don’t have a snail infestation, you have a duck
deficienty”
![Page 26: Intro to Permaculture Gold Coast Permaculture](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061615/58f9af79760da3da068bad83/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
11. Attitudinal Principles
Permaculture is not energy or capital intensive. Permaculture is information-intensive!
If we take the time to read, observe, discuss and contemplate, we design systems which save
energy and give us yields.
WELCOME TO OUR URBAN PERMACULTURE
COURSE!

Permaculture Ethics in our own lives• Long-term consequences of your actions. • Natives X Invasive species• Intensive systems X Extensive systems• Be diverse, polycultural for stability or change• Bring food-growing back into the cities• Promote community responsability• Reafforest earth, restore fertility to the soil• Recycle all wastes• See solutions, not problems• Work where it counts
