Permaculture is an ethical approach to providing food and other essentials needed for man's survival.

It embraces three main ethics as follows:

a. "Care of the Earth"

This includes all living things and non living things which together comprise the

environment (ie. Animals, plants, land, water and air).

b. "Care of People"

Permaculture systems should be developed to promote self reliance and community

responsibility.

c. "Give Away Surplus"

 

Permaculture aims to pass on anything surplus to an individual's needs (eg. labour,

information or money) in an attempt to pursue the above aims.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A permaculture system is a unique landscape where all the plants and animals live in balance in a self sustaining ecosystem. It commonly involves developing a garden or farm where the plants and animals are put together in such a way that they support each others growth and development. The garden or farm may very well change over the years, but it always remains productive, requires little input once established, and is environmentally sound.

 

 

 

 

 

ACS offers six Permaculture Courses

Permaculture I, II, III and IV were originally developed as part of an Advanced Certificate. These courses can be taken individually and each one builds on the previous one. Each takes around 100 hrs to complete.

Permaculture Systems and Advanced Permaculture are more demanding and intensive courses intended as higher and more academic levels of study. Though only 100 hrs together, they cover much of the same ground as Permaculture I, II, III and IV.

Do not attempt to do all six.

Start with either Permaculture I and  move to 2, 3 and 4 OR start with Permaculture Systems and move on to Advanced Permaculture.
